Equipment

  • Large nonstick skillet
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage I use Jimmy Dean
  • 8 ounces cream cheese cut into cubes and softened
  • 1 10-ounce can Rotel tomatoes (undrained)

Instructions
 

  • Brown and crumble the sausage over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Drain off any excess grease.
  • Add cream cheese cubes and Rotel tomatoes. Stir over medium-low heat until cream cheese is melted.

Notes

  • To prevent a grainy texture, avoid boiling the dip once the cream cheese is added.
  • If the dip thickens too much while sitting, stir in a splash of heavy cream or milk.
  • Drain the sausage grease thoroughly to prevent the dip from becoming oily.
