Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sausage (mild or spicy)
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, cubed
- 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained)
Instructions
-
Brown the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage
until fully browned and no longer pink. Drain excess grease. -
Add to Slow Cooker: Transfer the cooked sausage to the slow cooker.
Add cubed cream cheese and the entire can of diced tomatoes with green chilies
(including the juice). -
Cook & Melt: Cover and cook on LOW for 1–2 hours, stirring occasionally,
until the cheese is fully melted and everything is creamy and combined. -
Stir & Serve: Stir well before serving. Switch to the “warm” setting
to keep the dip hot and smooth during serving.
Description
This dip is rich, creamy, and slightly zesty from the tomatoes and green chilies.
The sausage adds a hearty, savory flavor that balances beautifully with the smooth
cream cheese. It’s thick enough for chips yet creamy enough to scoop easily.
Perfect with tortilla chips, crackers, toasted bread, or even fresh veggies.
Tips
- Spice It Up: Use hot sausage for extra heat.
- Make It Extra Cheesy: Add ½ cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack for more flavor.
- Keep It Smooth: Stir occasionally while cooking to prevent sticking.
- Thin It Out: Add a splash of milk if the dip becomes too thick.
- Make It Ahead: Prepare early and keep warm in the slow cooker for parties.
Correction & Helpful Notes
- Be sure to fully drain the sausage grease to avoid an oily dip.
- Do not overcook on high heat, as cream cheese can separate. Low and slow works best.
- If doubling the recipe, increase cooking time slightly and stir more frequently.
Enjoy!
Serve this warm, creamy sausage cheese dip straight from the slow cooker and watch
it disappear in minutes. It’s simple, comforting, and perfect for sharing.
Enjoy every cheesy, savory bite!
