Ingredients

• 1 pound ground spicy Italian sausage
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 10 ounces Rotel tomatoes (diced tomatoes and green chilies)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the ground spicy Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

Step 2

Lower the heat to medium-low and add the cream cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and fully combined with the sausage.

Step 3

Mix in the sour cream, Rotel tomatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, one handful at a time, stirring constantly until the cheese is completely melted and the dip is smooth.

Step 5

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or a small slow cooker set to warm. Serve hot with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced baguette.
