Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 lb ground sausage mild or spicy
  • 20 oz diced tomatoes with green chile peppers 2 cans (with juices)
For the Creamy Layer
  • 32 oz cream cheese softened

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the sausage until fully browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
  2. Reduce the heat slightly and add the diced tomatoes with their juices and the softened cream cheese.
  3. Stir gently until the cream cheese melts and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  4. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring often, until fully blended and heated through.
  5. Serve warm with tortilla chips, crusty bread, pretzels, or fresh veggie sticks. Keep warm in a slow cooker if serving for a party.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute sausage with ground turkey or chicken. Add diced jalapeños or cayenne pepper for extra spice. To make ahead, cook the sausage in advance, then assemble and heat before serving.
