It’s officially football season and you know what that means…tailgating, snacks & great food. Even if you are not a football fan, you will still love this hot sausage dip – it’s become an all time favorite at my house!
I’m sure you’ve made your own version of this easy, flavor packed sausage dip. If you have, great. I’m sharing my version plus a couple of tips on how to prep it and keep it warm while you watch the game.
Cook your sausage when you have time, drain on a paper towel then store in an airtight container in the fridge until you are ready to use. WATCH OUT – if you are not careful, others in the house (and you too) will walk by and snatch a piece or two of this awesomeness and you WILL NOT have any left for your dip!
If you’re feeding a crowd, just double or triple this recipe. It’s so easy since it only has 3 ingredients. Dump your cooked sausage into a crock pot set on low, add the brick of cream cheese and container of Ro-tel tomatoes & chilies. Check the cooker every 10 to 15 minutes, stirring the mixture as the cream cheese melts. Once dip is mixed, keep crock pot on warm setting and serve.
This warm meaty dip will transform your next game day snack table.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese
- 1 can Ro-tel tomatoes and chilies

so easy and simple to make, I never have any left over when I make this recipe!
I agree! This dip disappears quickly so I always make a double batch.

I’ve been making this for years. We use hot sausage and hot rotel along with diced green onions and sliced black olives. We add both in the end and just heat it up.
Your sausage dip looks so very good. I have a question, is this real spicy? I used the Rotel tomatoes and chilis one time in a different recipe and it was very hot and spicy. Is this the case with that or no? I just love your recipes and want to thank you for all your work in providing them to all of us. Just delish….. Big hugs to you….Claudia
Oh, Claudia! This just puts a big ‘ol smile on my face. As far as the sausage dip, Rotel makes different levels of heat in their tomatoes/chilies now, so you could use the mild ones in the dip. You’ll still have all the yummy flavor without the heat.
I am so happy that you like the recipes and thank you for your kind words. A big hug right back to you!
