The Three Ingredient Manly Appetizer: Rotel Sausage Dip

My friend Shawn shared this recipe with me a few years ago, and its so super easy.  It literally is three ingredients, you can double up if you're going to a big party or just stick to one of each ingredient if its a smaller gathering.  However much or little you take, I guarantee it will be gone. 

Rotel Sausage Dip

What you need:

• 1 can Rotel diced tomatoes (mild or spicy) with green chiles
• 1 pound bulk sausage (regular or spicy, whichever you prefer)
• 1 8 oz block of cream cheese

What you do:
Spray a baking dish with nonstick spray.   Crumble the sausage and brown in a skillet, drain the grease once all cooked thru.   Dump the sausage into your baking dish.   Dump the can of Rotel in there (you don't have to even drain it).  Plop the block of cream cheese on top of it all.   No need to mix it up.   Bake in the oven at 375 degrees (uncovered) for 20-25 minutes.  Remove from oven, stir it all together.  Serve with chips of your choice - Tostitos, crackers or my favorite - Fritos!   You can reheat in the microwave during your party if it starts to get cold.


Everytime I take this to a party, the bowl is licked clean and everyone wants the recipe.  Three ingredients, plus the chips.  You can't beat that!   Just in time for Superbowl.  It may not be the prettiest appetizer you've ever seen but I can pretty much bet you'll be glad you made it.
