Ingredients
Speaking of ingredients, here is what you need:
- Sausage – One pound bulk ground pork sausage. I like using Jimmy Dean hot sausage but you can choose your favorite brand.
- Rotel – One can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies. Do not drain!
- Cream cheese – One 8 ounce brick of cream cheese, cubed (to help it melt quicker).
How to Make Sausage Cream Cheese Dip
- Brown and crumble the sausage. Drain off fat if necessary.
- Stir in the Rotel and cream cheese.
- Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping.

Recipe tips
Extra creamy – Prefer a less chunky dip? Use 2 packages of cream cheese and leave all the other ingredients the same.
Turn down the heat – Opt for mild sausage and/or Rotel to bring down the level of spice.
Keep warm all night – Making the dip for game day or for a party where guests will be snacking on it throughout the evening? Serve in a crockpot to keep the dip the perfect temperate all evening.
Storage – If you are lucky enough to have any sausage rotel dip leftover you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop and enjoy.

I have tried this recipe. It’s really delicious!!!!!!
Could you use Salsa
It might change the consistency and make the dip a bit thinner but I am sure it would still be delicious! If you give it a try please come back and let me know how it comes out!

I was thinking about adding pasta and make it a meal anyone tried that?
I haven’t tried but that does sound delicious.
Do we drain the juice from the can of Rotel Tomatoes and Green Chile before adding to the sausage in the frying pan?
No, add it undrained. Enjoy!
can you make ahead and freeze it?
Yes!
