Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb pork sausage mild or hot
  • 1 lb processed cheese such as Velveeta, cut into cubes
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese softened and cut into cubes
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes and green chiles undrained
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.5 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.5 tsp dried parsley
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder

Equipment

  • 1 12-inch skillet
  • 1 2 1/2-quart baking dish

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Lightly grease a 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
  3. Cook the pork sausage in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and cooked through to 160°F.
  4. Drain excess fat from the sausage.
  5. Add the sausage, processed cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, diced tomatoes and green chiles, Worcestershire sauce, ground cumin, dried parsley, onion powder, and garlic powder to the prepared baking dish and stir to combine.
  6. Bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the cheeses are melted and the dip is bubbling around the edges.
  7. Let the dip rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Stir the dip and serve warm.

Notes

For the smoothest dip, cut the cheeses into cubes before adding them to the dish. Refrigerate leftovers for 3 to 4 days; freezing is not recommended because the dairy may turn grainy. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat sour cream and cream cheese.
