Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound spicy Italian sausage
  • 1 (16 oz) package Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (like Ro-Tel)
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking the sausage)
  • Tortilla chips or sliced vegetables (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
  2. Once hot, add the spicy Italian sausage, breaking it into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  3. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and no longer pink, stirring occasionally.
  4. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and add the cubed Velveeta cheese to the skillet.
  6. Add the softened cream cheese and stir until melted.
  7. Pour in the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies (do not drain).
  8. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Stir until well combined and melted, about 5-10 minutes. Add a splash of milk if the dip is too thick.
  9. Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more cayenne or hot sauce for extra heat if desired.
  10. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions if using.
  11. Transfer to a serving bowl or keep in the skillet for a rustic presentation.
  12. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping.
  13. Offer sliced vegetables like bell peppers, cucumbers, or carrots for a healthier option.
  14. For a fun twist, serve in mini bread bowls or hollowed-out bell peppers.
  15. Let any leftovers cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  16. Reheat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, or on the stovetop over low heat, stirring frequently.
