The 3 Ingredient Spicy Sausage Dip is a crowd-pleaser known for its simplicity, rich flavors, and versatility. This dip is perfect for parties, game day gatherings, or as a comforting snack during movie nights. The blend of creamy, spicy, and meaty flavors makes it irresistible, and the best part is it’s incredibly easy to prepare. Here’s how to whip up this delightful dip.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) spicy pork sausage
- 1 (10 oz or about 285g) can of diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
- 1 (16 oz or about 450g) package cream cheese, softened
Instructions:
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the spicy pork sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon until it’s fully cooked and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
- Combine Ingredients: Reduce the heat to low. Add the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies to the skillet with the cooked sausage. Stir in the softened cream cheese until fully combined and creamy. Keep stirring until all the ingredients are well mixed and the cream cheese has melted completely, creating a uniform, creamy texture.
- Serve Warm: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Serve the dip warm with a variety of dippers such as tortilla chips, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables for dipping. For a touch of garnish, you can sprinkle some chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions on top.
Tips:
- Crockpot Option: For convenience, you can also make this dip in a crockpot. Cook the sausage in a skillet as instructed, then transfer the cooked sausage and the remaining ingredients to the crockpot. Cook on low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the dip is hot and creamy.
- Spice Level Adjustment: If you prefer a less spicy dip, look for milder sausage options, or choose diced tomatoes without green chilies. You can always adjust the heat level with additional ingredients like hot sauce or diced jalapeños to suit your taste.
- Serving Suggestion: Keep the dip warm by serving it in a slow cooker set on the “warm” setting during parties. This keeps the dip creamy and makes it convenient for guests to help themselves.
Nutritional Consideration:
While delicious, this dip is rich in calories and fat due to the cream cheese and sausage. Enjoy it in moderation as part of a balanced diet, especially if you’re mindful of your calorie intake.
