Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 2 hrs
Total Time: 2 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 pound ground sausage
  2. 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies (10 oz)
  3. 1 block cream cheese (8 oz)
  4. 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  5. 1 teaspoon taco seasoning

Instructions

  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 pound of ground sausage, 1 can of diced tomatoes with green chilies (10 oz), 1 block of cream cheese (8 oz), 2 cups of shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend), and 1 teaspoon of taco seasoning.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground sausage. Cook it until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Ensure that the sausage is fully cooked and no longer pink.
  3. Once the sausage is cooked, drain any excess grease from the skillet. This will help keep the dip from becoming too greasy.
  4. In your crock pot, combine the cooked sausage, the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies (including the liquid), the block of cream cheese, the shredded cheese, and the taco seasoning.
  5. Stir the ingredients in the crock pot until they are well combined. Make sure the cream cheese is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  6. Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on low for 2 hours. This slow cooking will allow the flavors to meld and the cheeses to melt into a creamy dip.
  7. After 2 hours, check the dip. Stir it well to ensure that everything is mixed together and creamy. If the dip is too thick, you can add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
  8. Once the dip is ready, serve it warm with tortilla chips, sliced vegetables, or your favorite dipping items. Enjoy your delicious Crock Pot Sausage Queso Dip!

Tips

  1. Choose high-quality sausage for the best flavor profile - spicy Italian or Mexican-style sausage can add an extra kick.
  2. Drain the sausage thoroughly to prevent your dip from becoming greasy. A little fat is good, but too much can ruin the texture.
  3. Use full-fat cream cheese and shredded cheese for the most luxurious, melt-in-your-mouth consistency.
  4. If the dip becomes too thick during cooking, don't panic! A splash of milk or chicken broth can help restore the perfect creamy texture.
  5. Keep the crock pot on "warm" setting during serving to maintain that perfect dippable temperature.
  6. For added freshness, consider topping the dip with chopped cilantro, green onions, or a dollop of sour cream before serving.
