Here’s a simple and delicious Slow Cooker Sausage Dip recipe—perfect for game days, parties, or a cozy snack. It’s creamy, cheesy, and full of savory sausage flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) ground breakfast sausage
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional for extra gooeyness)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (like Rotel), drained slightly
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Optional: chopped green onions or jalapeños for topping
Instructions
- Cook the sausage:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until fully browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat.
- Combine in slow cooker:
- Transfer the cooked sausage to your slow cooker.
- Add cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella (if using), sour cream, diced tomatoes, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Slow cook:
- Cover and cook on low for 2 hours or until cheeses are melted and the dip is hot.
- Stir occasionally to ensure everything is well combined.
- Serve:
- Garnish with chopped green onions or jalapeños if desired.
- Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced baguette.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, use spicy sausage or add hot sauce to taste.
- You can make it ahead of time: Assemble in the slow cooker insert, refrigerate, and cook when ready.
- Leftovers store well in the fridge for 3–4 days; reheat gently on low heat.
If you want, I can also give you a cheesy version with Velveeta that makes the dip ultra-smooth and creamy—perfect if you want it extra indulgent. Do you want that version?
