Ingredients Needed For Rotel Sausage Dip

  • 1 Pound Sausage– I use Jimmy Dean Breakfast Sausage, but you can use Italian Sausage. If it comes in casings, remove the sausage from the casings.
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese– softened and cut into cubes so it melts easily.
  • 1 can Rotel Tomatoes– use “Hot” if you want the dip spicy.
Ingredients in a skillet.

How To Serve

Makes a great gameday or potluck dip. Serve it with either corn chips or tortilla chips. I most love it with Frito Scoops.

How To Spice It Up or Down

Use spicy sausage and “Hot” Rotel Tomatoes if you want it extra spicy. Or just use either spicy sausage or “Hot” Rotel if you want a medium spice level. Use mild of each if you don’t want it spicy.

Use More Cream Cheese

Some recipes use double the amount of cream cheese, but I like there to be a high ratio of sausage to cream cheese. If you want more cream cheese, use 16 ounces for a creamier dip.

Recipe Tips For 3-Ingredient Rotel Sausage Dip

Garnish with sliced green onion or sliced olives or fresh cilantro for more flavor.

Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese for more cheese flavor.

Use ground beef instead of sausage for an equally delicious dip.

Don’t drain the Rotel tomatoes. You want all the delicious juices to flavor the dip.

Storage

Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days and can be reheated in a microwave, in a pot over low heat, or in a slow cooker. A slow cooker is great because it will keep it warm while you serve it.
