Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 10 ounces Diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 bag Tortilla chips or crackers (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet set over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage. Break it into crumbles with a spatula or wooden spoon as it cooks. Continue cooking until the sausage is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.
Step 2
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese to the skillet. Stir constantly until the cream cheese is fully melted and blended with the sausage.
Step 3
Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained) to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Step 4
Sprinkle in the garlic powder and onion powder, stirring to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Step 5
Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, one handful at a time, stirring between each addition until the cheese is fully melted and the dip is smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or a slow cooker set to 'warm' to keep it hot for serving.
Step 7
Garnish the dip with chopped green onions, if desired, and serve with tortilla chips or crackers for dipping.
