Using sausage, Rotel, and cream cheese, you get to create a dip that even the pickiest eaters in your household will love. I’ve never made a dip that required so few ingredients!!
Sausage Cheese Dip Ingredients & Substitutions:
Ground sausage – Regular sausage, breakfast sausage, hot Italian sausage, or mild sausage can be used. Ground beef or ground turkey can be used instead. Keep in mind that ground turkey has less fat than pork or beef which means that texture and flavor may differ slightly.
Canned Rotel tomatoes – Regular canned tomatoes without green chilies can be used instead if you prefer this dip without extra heat. You will want to drain some of the water if you use canned tomatoes though.
Cream Cheese – Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for easy mixing. For extra cheesy flavor, add shredded cheddar cheese or Velveeta cheese.
How To Make Sausage Cheese Dip
- Add the spicy Italian sausage, Rotel tomatoes & cream cheese into a frying pan or cast iron skillet.
- Turn the stove to medium heat & combine while heating.
- Transfer the dip mixture to a serving dish. I love this fun football-shaped serving dish for this 3 ingredient dip!
- Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy.

How To Store Sausage Cheese Dip
Store leftover Rotel sausage dip in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days (about 3-4). Since this dip contains creamy ingredients, don’t let it sit at room temperature for longer than 20 minutes.
If you store leftover cheesy dip in the serving bowl, cover it tightly with plastic wrap.
Recipe FAQ’s:
Can you freeze Sausage Rotel Dip?
Yes, you can freeze this sausage and cream cheese dip. Make sure it’s cooled down to room temperature after cooking. Place it inside an airtight container, label it, and then add it to the freezer. Consume within 3 months of freezing. You can freeze the dip in big batches or small containers.
What’s a good side dish for a potluck?
Cheesy Chicken Fajita Casserole, Easy Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas, or Crockpot Creamy Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sliders make great side dishes for a potluck.
This Sausage Rotel Dip is always a hit at parties. You can leave it in the crock pot and everyone will be able to serve themselves.
They can add the dip to their plate and then use chips to dip it.
Is this sausage dip recipe spicy?
This easy sausage dip has a slight kick of heat from the green chiles in the canned Rotel tomatoes. It’s definitely not a hot sausage dip and you won’t need to reach for a glass of milk of water! That said, there’s nothing stopping you from increasing the heat in this spicy dip by adding ingredients such as cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, or small pieces of sliced jalapenos.
Why is my dip greasy?
Ground pork sausage contains a higher fat content than leaner meat. To prevent excess grease in your sausage cream cheese dip, brown sausage first in a large skillet and then drain the grease before combing the ground pork with the rest of the ingredients.
Can I make Rotel dip in the slow cooker?
Sure! You simply want to brown your sausage first then throw all of your ingredients in the slow cooker on low for 4-5 hours. Continue to stir every 30 minutes
