Ingredients Additions and Substitutions

Now, of course, I think this sausage cream cheese dip tastes perfect with the exact ingredients above. But, with that said, there's definitely room to modify the ingredients to suit your preferences or at least save you a trip to the grocery store.

For instance, if you're running low on cream cheese, then you can swap it with equal portions of sour cream or even Greek yogurt. Or, if you want to make a lighter version of this recipe, then you can use reduced fat cream cheese instead of full fat cream cheese.

Also, if you want to add anything to spice up this recipe, you totally can. I suggest either adding some chopped green chilies to the mix or swapping the regular sausage for hot pork sausage or spicy Italian sausage.

How To Make Cream Cheese Sausage Dip

I know I said this before, but it's worth mentioning again, this cream cheese sausage dip could not be any easier to make!

I mean, it's hard to beat a recipe that requires only 5 ingredients and just a couple of steps, right?

Anyway, let's stop wasting time and get cooking!

Step 1: Cook The Sausage

So, to get started, you'll want to grab a large skillet, or pot, add some oil to it, and set it over medium heat. Then, after you've got that set, you can add your ground sausage to the hot skillet. Just make sure to remove the casing from the sausage before you start cooking it.

Now you'll want to break up the sausage with a wooden spoon and cook it until it's browned on all sides. This should only take a few minutes, and the sausage will continue cooking a little later on.

Step 2: Add The Cream Cheese And Rotel

So, once the sausage is nicely browned, you can drain the excess grease from the skillet and stir in the cream cheese and Rotel tomatoes.

Then, after you've added those ingredients, you'll want to cook 'em together until the cream cheese is melted and everything combines together.

Step 3: Season And Serve The Dip

Last but not least, give the sausage dip a taste and add some salt and pepper to it if necessary.

Then, you can transfer your finished dip to a serving bowl and serve it warm with some tortilla chips, veggies, or crackers and enjoy!

How To Store Sausage Cream Cheese Dip

This recipe for sausage cream cheese dip makes about 6 servings, which should be just enough to serve as an appetizer to a large group of hungry guests. If needed though, you can easily double or triple the recipe - you may just need to add a little cooking time if you do!

Then, if you have any leftovers, you can transfer the cooled cream cheese sausage dip to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for 3-4 days. 

How To Reheat Sausage Cream Cheese Dip

When you're ready to enjoy this delicious cheese dip again, it's definitely best reheated.

So, to reheat your sausage cream cheese dip, I recommend putting it back in a skillet - or pot - over low heat. Then, you can heat it for a few minutes, frequently stirring it until it's warmed through. 

Alternatively, to reheat your dip faster, you can put the dip in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in 20-second intervals. Just make sure to stir the dip between each interval until the cheese has melted and the dip is warm and smooth.

Wrapping It Up

Well, that's how to make sausage dip with just a handful of ingredients and only a few minutes worth of work!

Honestly, out of all the savory cream cheese dip recipes you can make, I really think this one is one of the best ones out there. From the mouthwatering meat to the rich cream cheese, it's just so, so addictive.

Honestly, this dip is a hit with everyone - except vegetarians, of course - whenever I serve it. So, I have a feeling everyone you make it for will love it too.
