This ultra creamy and cheesy Spicy Sausage Cheese Dip is perfect for game day or anytime you have a crowd of hungry people gathered. It’s easy to make and has a full pound of sausage for lots of meaty flavor. Set it out with a bowl of tortilla chips and watch it disappear.
Ingredients
For the heat I used a jalapeno pepper and a can of Hot Rotel Tomatoes. A full 8 ounces of cream cheese makes this sausage dip really creamy and 8 ounces of cheddar cheese gives it lots of cheese flavor. I also add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste for flavor.
How To Serve
This Spicy Sausage Cheese Dip is great for those who prefer real cheese in their dips.
This is a dip that’s so easy and so tasty, you’ll find yourself making it again and again. It’s great served with tortilla chips or Frito Scoops. Makes a great game day dip or party appetizer or a wonderful addition to taco night.
Tips For Making Spicy Sausage Cheese Dip
- Instead of buying preshredded cheese, buy and 8-ounce block of cheese and shred it yourself. The flavor is much better when you shred your own.
- Instead of baking the dip in the oven, put it in a 4-quart crock pot and heat it on LOW until the cheese is melted and warm.
Variations and Substitutions
- Use ground beef or chorizo in place of sausage.
- Use half cheddar cheese and hlaf Monterey Jack cheese for a milder cheese flavor.
- Add a small can of diced green chilies.
- Instead of using jalapeno, add a few finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.
How To Store
Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days and reheated on the sotve or in the microwave.
