Make this ultimate creamy sausage cream cheese dip for your next gathering. This hot appetizer recipe is simple to prepare, uses breakfast sausage, and is perfect served warm with tortilla chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
  • 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
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Tortilla chips, crackers, or baguette slices for serving

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess 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 cooked sausage.
  3. Stir constantly until the cheeses are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until everything is combined and heated through. Do not let the dip boil.
  5. Transfer the dip to a small slow cooker or a serving dish if serving immediately. If using a slow cooker, keep on the low setting to keep warm.
  6. Serve your cheesy sausage dip warm with your favorite dipping items.

Notes

  • For a thicker dip, reduce the heavy cream amount slightly or omit it entirely if you are using a slow cooker, as the moisture from the Rotel is often enough.
  • You can prepare the sausage ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to two days before assembling the dip.
  • If you prefer a spicier dip, use the hot version of the diced tomatoes and green chilies, or add a dash of hot sauce during the seasoning step.
