Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 16 ounces cream cheese
- 10 ounces Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (drained)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- tortilla chips or crackers (for serving)
Instructions
In a large nonstick skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until fully browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese to the skillet with the sausage. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and well-incorporated.
Stir in the Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies. Mix to combine everything evenly.
Slowly add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and milk to the mixture, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and the dip reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
Season the dip with garlic powder and onion powder for added flavor. Stir well to distribute the spices.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or a slow cooker set to the warm setting to keep it hot.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or your favorite dipping items. Enjoy!
