Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 g) ground pork sausage
  • 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 8 ounces (225 g) processed cheese (e.g., Velveeta), cut into cubes
  • 1 can (10 ounces or 280 g) diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

 

  1. Cook the Sausage:
    • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Combine Ingredients:
    • Add the softened cream cheese and cubed processed cheese to the skillet with the cooked sausage. Stir until the cheeses begin to melt.
  3. Add Liquids and Seasonings:
    • Pour in the undrained diced tomatoes with green chilies, milk, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine.
  4. Simmer:
    • Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cheeses are fully melted and the dip is smooth.
  5. Finish and Serve:
    • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and incorporated. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
    • Transfer the dip to a serving dish and serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced baguette.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead: This dip can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
  • Slow Cooker Option: To keep the dip warm during a party, transfer the prepared dip to a slow cooker set on low. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
