Spicy Sausage Dip
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years are coming up and there will be parties, family gatherings and potluck’s at work, so we need something that’s delicious of course, quick and easy to prepare such as a little side dish, snack or appetizer if you will.
This Spicy Sausage Dip is simply excellent! It is so easy and quick to make, perfect for potlucks or other gatherings and it always gets great reviews. I use 1/3 less fat cream cheese and it does not change the flavor of the recipe. The canned tomatoes with chilies that I use is the Rotal Original which is plenty spicy for me. 🙂 I think you will really enjoy this Spicy Sausage Dip.

Directions:
In a large pan over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until just starting to brown. Drain off excess fat. Reduce heat to medium and mix in canned tomatoes and cream cheese.

Hot sauce isn’t optional! It’s a must with an appetizer like this! Some sauted peppers and onions might also bring some extra flavours for this dish! It looks delicious!
That looks yummy. I’m going to try this for sure.
One word. Heaven. This is completely my speed. I could easily take care of that bowl for you and not share a single drop. 🙂
Yum! My family would love this one. We put out a lot of appetizers around the holidays so this is perfect for us. Thanks! Buzzed ya!
Oh this is my kind of dip 🙂 meaty and spicy 🙂
I was planning on making my Thanksgiving menu this weekend… of course, I was too busy with “life” + working on cookies for the food blogger cookie swap, and I’ve postponed the menu making once more!! Considering how soon the holidays are about to come, I’d better fix that… and I’ll start fixing that by bookmarking your recipe 😉
I have had this with the cheddar sauce but the idea of using cream cheese sounds like a delicious twist. This one is a keeper for entertaining. Thanks for sharing-you picture is so tempting-yum!
