Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground sausage (mild or spicy) Your choice
- 1 package cream cheese, softened (8 oz) Best texture with full-fat
- 1 cup sour cream Full-fat recommended
- 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 can Rotel (10 oz), drained Diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper Optional, for heat
- to taste Salt and black pepper
- for garnish Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 1.5–2 quart baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground sausage, breaking it into small pieces, until no pink remains and it is crumbly, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess grease and return the sausage to the pan.
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Fold in the drained Rotel, shredded cheddar, and mozzarella until evenly combined.
- Stir the cooked sausage into the cheese mixture until well distributed. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
Baking
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly and the top is light golden. For a browned top, broil for 1–2 minutes, watching closely.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley or green onions, and serve warm.
Notes
This dip can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking. Sturdy tortilla chips work best for dipping. Also consider serving with toasted baguette slices or raw vegetable sticks.
