3-Ingredient Cream Cheese Sausage Dip – SOOOO good! Sausage, cream cheese, and Rotel. Ready in under 10 minutes. Great for parties! There is never any left!!
I must confess. I had my doubts about this recipe. With only 3 ingredients I wasn’t sure this was going to have much flavor. Well, I was completely wrong! This stuff is awesome!!!
I am not a big fan of plain cream cheese. I love it in dips, casseroles, etc. But just cream cheese on a bagel – nope. I was worried that this 3-Ingredient Cream Cheese Sausage Dip would have too much of a cream cheese flavor, but it didn’t. The sausage and tomatoes really shine in this dip. We served this with some scoops tortilla chips and it was perfect! This is a great dip for when you need something quick and easy for a party. It is always a hit!

So, so, so good! Husband and I ate the whole bowl of dip on Christmas Eve this year while having video calls with friends and family. I used a spicy Italian chicken sausage, original Ro-Tel, full fat cream cheese, and added a couple of splashes of jalapeño Tabasco (the green one).
If you have leftovers, which you shouldn’t unless you make tons…try using it as a spread on and English muffin or egg muffin sandwich!
YUM!
Mine is a little soupy for tonight. Any ideas as to how I can thicken kt up a bit?
let it cool off some?
We’ve always called this Ugly Dip…. everyone can understand why. But it is amazingly good!
We call this 3-2-1 dip. 3 packs of cream cheese, 2 cans rotel, 1 pound sausage. Throw it all in the crockpot and still really flavorful!
To use hamburger in place of sausage for work parties because onevof our doc’s can’t eat pork. I use the spicy Rotel. Still good and I don’t e we bring any home:(
can it be bake
Does it reheat well. Thinking of making it ahead.
It reheats fine. If the dip gets too thick, add some milk. Enjoy!
Is it better to add 8oz. of cream cheese or 16oz.
I use one 8-oz package of cream cheese
I have been making this forever and everyone loves it! Sometimes I add a 2nd can of Rotel (partly drained), to make it a little less thick (my husband likes it thicker than I do!). We use the HOT sausage, but it's still not that spicy of a dip. My husband likes to paper towel the grease from the sausage, but I think it adds flavor! I make it as an appetizer for get-togethers or sometimes my husband and I have it for lunch on the weekend. Sooooo good!
We’ve been making this in Mississippi for years and we call it Tuzzi Dip. Our recipe calls for two blocks of cream cheese and you cook your HOT sausage first. Serve with Fritos.
didn't even think, if it goes in crockpot with all the ingrediants (sausage not cooked) will it be okay?
I would suggest cooking the sausage first
How long in a crockpot?
I would say a couple of hours on low should work
