    Today, I am sharing a quick and easy sausage dip that people absolutely love – Hot and Spicy Sausage Dip! Aka, Ugly Dip and Man Dip. This recipe, like most of the recipes I share, takes just a few ingredients, ONLY 3 – cream cheese, Rotel, and sausage, that’s it! Simple to make too (ready in minutes), so darn good. This is one of my favorite go-to appetizers – it makes the BEST sausage dip!

    EASY SAUSAGE DIP (Hot & Spicy)  – Only 3 Ingredients

    This cream cheese, Rotel, and sausage dip is a crowd favorite appetizer that’s perfect for parties, game day, holidays and more! You may want to double the recipe, this dip is addictive and gets devoured – it’s always the first to go at parties, I always come home with an empty bowl. 

    Read rave reviews from people who tried this recipe on Pinterest (with photos)!

    Easy Sausage Dip - Only 3 Ingredients - Dip is made with cream cheese, hot sausage and rotel. Serve with Tortilla Chips
    My friend from Maryland, Mrs. T, shared this recipe with me years ago. This is the friend that shared the great tip for Swiss cheese in lasagna and gave me the Black-Eyed Peas & Sweet Corn Salsa recipe. When she gave me this recipe, she told me when she serves it, it’s the first thing to go at parties, “people love this stuff!”  When I make it, what I found is women love this dip, but men will devour (hog) it all – so again, you may want to double the recipe.
    This photo shows the dip in a crock pot.

    This is a two photo collage-the top photo shows the ingredients for the dip on a counter. The bottom photo shows the dip iserve dn a crock pot.

    If you’re looking for an appetizer everyone will enjoy, I highly recommend giving this recipe a try at your next gathering! I always serve this in a small crock pot at parties – keeps it warm for serving.

    Ingredients
    • 1 lb of Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage (hot or regular – use your favorite bulk sausage brand)
    • 10 oz can Rotel, do not drain (original, diced tomatoes & green chilies)
    • 8 oz cream cheese
    Directions
    In a large skillet, cook sausage, breaking up into small pieces (like taco meat) until fully cooked. Drain all excess fat. Add Rotel and cream cheese, mix until well blended and heated thoroughly. Place in a serving dish or small crock pot, serve warm with your favorite tortilla chips or Fritos Scoops.

     

    Tips
    • For less spicy dip, use regular sausage.
    • This is perfect for small crock-pots, keeping it warm while serving.

     

     

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
    Cheers!

      If you are pressed for time use 1 bag jimmy dean turkey sausage crumbles. Already cooked, healthier and not as greasy. This is amazing stuff. I bring to potlucks and it is one of the first things to go.

      I call this crack dip!! So addicting. I use a pound of regular sausage, 2 cans of rotel (1 mild and 1 original) undrained and 2 8 oz cream cheese and it comes out perfect!

      This dip is great when I make it I add chili powder for extra flavor and broil it in the oven for a few minutes.

      I make a dip that is similar to this, however we add some garlic and seasonings. It's delicious and always good to make in double batches for a party! Otherwise there will be someone that doesn't get any.

      I use Regular sausage instead of Hot. It's a delicious dip and always a crowd pleaser.

      My sister-in-law learned to make this while going to Mississippi State University. It was their junk food of choice. They called it "Crack Dip". Well, it is addictive… ; )

      Mary this looks good! I'm still making the other cheese spread thing you posted and it's our favorite, but I'll try this too because Sam is a sausage lover! Pinned it!
