Make this rich, creamy sausage cream cheese dip using just five simple ingredients. It is a perfect, warm appetizer for game days or any party gathering. You can prepare this crowd-pleasing dip on the stovetop or in your slow cooker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and drained
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), undrained
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. If using the stovetop, brown the breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off all grease completely.
  2. Reduce the heat to low. Add the softened cream cheese, undrained diced tomatoes and green chilies, and shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet with the sausage.
  3. Stir constantly until the cream cheese is fully melted and all ingredients are combined and smooth.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream until the dip reaches your desired consistency. Heat through for 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. For the slow cooker method, combine the cooked and drained sausage, cream cheese, undrained diced tomatoes and green chilies, and cheddar cheese in a small slow cooker insert.
  6. Cook on LOW for 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally until the cheese is melted. Stir in the heavy cream during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  7. Serve this hot sausage appetizer immediately with tortilla chips or crackers.

Notes

  • You can substitute Velveeta cheese for the cheddar cheese and cream cheese for an even smoother texture.
  • For a spicier dip, use hot breakfast sausage or add a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
  • If the dip thickens while sitting out, stir in a tablespoon of milk or cream to loosen it up.
