Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the ground sausage to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Sauté until fully browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (do not drain), garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined and heated through.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage mixture. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated.
Step 6
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions for a burst of freshness.
Step 7
Transfer the sausage dip to a serving dish or serve directly from the skillet. Pair with tortilla chips or your preferred dippers. Enjoy immediately!
