Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground sausage (mild or spicy, your choice) Cooked until browned
  • 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened Provides creaminess
  • 1 cup sour cream Adds tanginess
  • 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese For a rich flavor
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese For added meltiness
  • 1 10 oz can Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies), drained Adds a flavorful kick
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce Enhances the savory flavor
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder For flavor
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder For flavor
  • 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) For added heat
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste) Adjust based on preference
  • Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped (for garnish) Optional for garnish

Instructions
 

Cooking the Sausage

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbly. Drain any excess grease.

Mixing the Base

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and seasonings. Mix until well combined.

Adding Flavor

  • Stir in the cooked sausage, Rotel, cheddar, and mozzarella cheese. Make sure everything is fully mixed together.

Baking the Dip

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until it’s bubbly and golden.

Serving

  • Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley or green onions, and serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or toasted baguette slices.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Can be frozen before baking; thaw overnight before baking. For a lighter option, substitute turkey sausage and Greek yogurt for sour cream.
