Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 16 ounces breakfast sausage
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature, cubed
- 10 ounces Rotel Tomatoes do not drain
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium high heat, cook the sausage until it is no longer pink. Drain any grease in the skillet.
- Cube the cream cheese and add it, the Rotel, and the cheddar cheese to the sausage.
- Stir until the cheeses are melted and all the ingredients are incorporated into the sausage.
- Allow it to simmer for several minutes and garnish with green onions.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese so it's easier to combine with the other ingredients and melts down more smoothly.
- The sausage should be crumbly, not chunky. Breaking the meat into small crumbles will ensure that there are little bits in every bite of the dip.
- Don’t drain the Rotel! The tiny bit of liquid in the can will help the dip achieve a perfect, creamy texture.
- You can use other ground meat, like ground beef or ground turkey, and can use the hot version of Rotel to give the dip an extra spice!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheat leftovers on the stovetop on medium-low heat, stirring continuously until warmed, or in the microwave in short bursts.
