How to Make 3 Ingredient Warm Sausage Dip

1. Cook the sausage:
   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.
2. Add the cream cheese:
   Reduce heat to low and stir in the cream cheese. Let it melt slowly, stirring until completely smooth and combined.
3. Add the tomatoes:
   Pour in the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies (do not drain them). Mix well until everything is hot, creamy, and blended.
4. Serve warm:
   Serve immediately in an 8x8 baking dish, or transfer to a small crockpot on the warm setting so it stays hot for your guests.

What to Serve With Sausage Dip

This rotel dip recipe pairs well with pretty much anything, but here are some favorites:

Make Ahead Instructions

Here's how to prep sausage dip in advance:

Prep and Store the Dip Fully Cooked

1. Make the dip completely (cook sausage, melt cream cheese, add tomatoes).
2. Let it cool slightly.
3. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
4. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat, in a glass baking dish in the oven or warm it in a crockpot. Add 1-2 tablespoons of milk if it thickened too much in the fridge.

This method is great when you want a totally stress-free appetizer you can just heat and serve.
