Ingredients for 3 Ingredient Chip Dip

  • Rotel Tomatoes & Chilies
  • 8 oz (1 package) cream cheese, softened
  • Mild Sausage

How to Make 3 Ingredient Chip Dip

  1. Brown 1 lb of sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, soften 8 oz (1 package) of cream cheese on low power in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. Transfer the browned sausage and softened cream cheese to your slow cooker or crockpot.
  4. Add one 10 oz can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (undrained).
  5. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  6. Cook on low for 2-3 hours, or until heated through and bubbly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even heating. For a crispier top, keep on warm for 30 min, then stir.
  7. Serve warm with tortilla chips or your favorite dippers.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
