Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound rolled breakfast sausage spicy or mild
  • 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese softened and cubed
  • 2 cans (10 oz each) diced tomatoes & green chilies like Rotel, do not drain

Equipment

  • 3-4 Quart Slow Cooker (Crock Pot)
  • Skillet (optional for browning)
  • Spatula or spoon

Method
 

  1. For deeper flavor (optional): In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown and crumble the sausage until no longer pink. Drain excess grease if desired.
  2. Place the cubed cream cheese and both undrained cans of diced tomatoes & green chilies into the slow cooker.
  3. Add the cooked (or raw) sausage to the slow cooker. If using raw sausage, break it up slightly with a spoon as you add it.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 2-3 hours or on HIGH for 1-1.5 hours, until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sausage is cooked.
  5. Uncover and stir vigorously until the dip is smooth and well combined. If it's too thick, stir in a tablespoon of milk or broth.
  6. Switch the slow cooker to the WARM setting. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, pretzels, or vegetable sticks.

Notes

Dipping Ideas: This dip is also fantastic with celery sticks, bell peppers, toasted baguette slices, or soft pretzel bites. For a cheesy upgrade, stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
