Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Hot pork sausage You can also use mild sausage or turkey sausage for a leaner option.
  • 8 oz Cream cheese Full-fat cream cheese provides the creamiest texture.
  • 10 oz Rotel diced tomatoes Choose mild or hot depending on your spice preference.
Optional Add-ins
  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese For extra meltiness.
  • 2 tbsp Green onions Add for freshness.
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder For an extra savory flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up until there's no pink left.
  2. Add cream cheese. Cut the cream cheese into chunks and drop it into the skillet, stirring until it melts and forms a creamy sauce.
  3. Stir in the can of Rotel with its juices, mixing until heated through and evenly combined.
  4. Serve hot, straight from the skillet or transfer to a small slow cooker set on warm.

Notes

Use medium heat to keep the dip smooth and creamy. If it thickens after sitting, stir in a splash of milk.
