Ingredients in Sausage Cream Cheese Dip

Just three ingredients are needed to make this amazingly flavorful dip: Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

Sausage: Spicy Italian pork Sausage is my choice for making this dip, but you can use a spicy or regular breakfast sausage like Jimmy Dean, or any other type of fresh sausage that you like. This is where we get most of the seasoning for this recipe from. Bulk sausage is the easiest to use, but if your sausage has a casing, remove it before cooking. You can also use ground beef if you prefer.Cream Cheese: You know, the thing that every creamy, cheesy dip needs to make it dippable!Ro-Tel: Use the original variety of Rotel, or use the mild if you want to control the heat of the sausage dip. It also comes in a hot variety if you really like the heat. 

How to Make Sausage Dip

What to Serve with Sausage Dip? 

Dippers: Tortilla chips are traditional, but feel free to think outside of the box. Crackers, pita chips, homemade crostini, or baguette slices are all good too. For a low carb or healthier option, serve with vegetable sticks.  More Hot Dips: If one hot and creamy dip is good, multiple dips will be great! Use your instant pot to make Instant Pot Spinach Artichoke or Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Dips.  Cold Dips: Add some variety with cold dips like Middle Eastern Muhammara Red Pepper Dip, or Classic Hummus.  You are now ready to get your dip on! Make this hot sausage dip for the game, or any time you want a satisfying, creamy, and slightly spicy snack. © Little Sunny Kitchen
