Make this easy Rotel dip with sausage and cream cheese. It is a cheesy, crowd-pleasing party appetizer perfect for game day or any gathering. You can prepare this hot cheese dip on the stovetop or in a slow cooker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground sausage
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) package Velveeta cheese, cubed

Instructions

  1. Cook the ground sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until fully browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Reduce the heat to low. Add the softened cream cheese to the skillet with the sausage and stir until the cream cheese melts and combines smoothly with the meat.
  3. Stir in the undrained Rotel tomatoes and green chilies and the drained Rotel tomatoes and green chilies.
  4. Add the cubed Velveeta cheese. Continue stirring over low heat until the Velveeta is completely melted and the dip is smooth and cheesy. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
  5. Transfer the rotel dip to a slow cooker set to the ‘Keep Warm’ setting if you are not serving immediately.
  6. Serve your cheesy rotel dip hot with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker rotel dip, combine all ingredients in a small crock pot and cook on low for 2 hours or on high for 1 hour, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  • If you prefer a spicier dip, use hot Rotel tomatoes or add a dash of hot sauce.
  • This recipe makes a great party appetizer dip that disappears quickly.
