It’s easy to make, delicious to eat, and you’ll be the hit of the party. The family favorite recipe is also a crowd favorite.

RoTel Sausage Dip

I love this cream cheese dip recipe and it’s incredibly popular around my house. The dip is spicy, salty, creamy, packed with flavor, and features a can of Ro-Tel.

The kids love the sausage cheese dip recipe because it’s the perfect party food, especially for those big game nights.

They can watch a football game, hang out with friends, or watch a movie while snacking on it with some chips or pita chips.

Only Three Ingredients in the Cheese Dip

It’s such an easy appetizer recipe to make because it only requires three ingredients including sausage, cream cheese, and Ro-Tel.

Ro-Tel ingredients include Rotel tomatoes, green chilies, and a few spices that give it a little kick.

The dip is not only a cinch to make but somewhat changeable if you’ve got people coming over that don’t eat spicy foods.

I made this dip with spicy sausage, but you can make it with mild, as well. 

If you’re not a big sausage fan, you can also switch it out with turkey sausage. There are a lot of options when making this dip. 

The dip has a savory flavor and is fantastic while it’s still warm. We didn’t even wait to get it out of the skillet. We just grabbed some chips and started eating while it was hot. 

The amazing dip is perfect with tortilla chips, crackers, or pita chips.

3. Serve warm with chips.

Step-By-Step Instructions On How To Make Sausage Cream Cheese Dip

First, add some olive oil to a large skillet and let it warm up a little bit. Once the skillet has warmed up, add the sausage.

I like to chop my sausage up into little bits and it will get a little easier to chop it up as the sausage gets hotter. I use a meat chopper that works well to break it up.

I added a link to the chopper in the recipe card below.

I also like to use my cast-iron skillet to cook foods like sausage and beef.

When the dip is finished cooking the skillet will keep it warm long after you’ve turned off the stovetop. It’s great for keeping in heat. 

Keep cooking the sausage until it’s completely done. I tend to overcook it just a little. I like my sausage very done. 

Once you brown the sausage, pour it into a strainer and drain off the excess grease. You want to get all of the grease out of there. 

Then place the sausage back into the skillet.

Next, add two boxes of cream cheese to the skillet.

I chopped up the cream cheese into smaller chunks so that it would melt faster; however, you don’t have to, but it does make life a little easier. 

I used full-fat cream cheese for the recipe, but if you’d like to use a lower fat cream cheese, that will work as well.

Finally, pour two cans of Ro-Tel into the skillet.

The Ro-Tel is going to add so much flavor to this dip. I am not really a big tomato fan and I loved everything about this dip. 

Keep cooking until the cream cheese has completely melted. It won’t take long. 

Keep stirring until the cheese is melted and the dip is hot. 

You can either keep the cheesy dip in the skillet over low heat or place it into a container.

It will stay soft for a while; however, the dip is so good it won’t last long enough to cool off.
