The 4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Sausage Cheese Dip That Owns Every Party
This dip is legendary for a reason. With just four simple ingredients and minimal effort, you get a creamy, savory, cheesy dip that disappears every single time. Set out a bowl of this at your gathering, and watch it become the center of attention.
Ingredients
· 1 lb ground breakfast sausage (mild or hot, based on your preference)
· 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, cubed
· 1 can (10 oz) Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, undrained
· 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Brown the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until fully browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease.
- Combine in Slow Cooker: Add the cooked sausage, cubed cream cheese, undrained Rotel, and shredded cheddar to your slow cooker.
- Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until everything is melted and creamy. (If you’re short on time, you can cook on HIGH for 1 hour, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.)
- Serve & Enjoy: Once smooth and hot, switch to the WARM setting. Serve with tortilla chips, sliced baguette, or fresh veggies.
Pro Tips for Maximum Party Ownership
· Spice It Up: Use hot sausage and add a pinch of cayenne or a diced jalapeño for extra heat.
· Texture Lover’s Twist: Reserve a little cooked sausage and shredded cheese to sprinkle on top just before serving.
· Keep it Creamy: If the dip thickens too much on warm setting, stir in a splash of milk or beer to reach your perfect consistency.
· Make it Ahead: Brown the sausage and store it refrigerated. Combine all ingredients in the slow cooker an hour before your party starts.
That’s it! Four ingredients, one pot, and a lifetime of requests to “bring that amazing dip.”
