This hearty Football Dip is a crowd-pleasing appetizer perfect for game day gatherings. Made with savory pork sausage, diced tomatoes, creamy Velveeta, and cream cheese, this warm and cheesy dip is rich, flavorful, and pairs perfectly with tortilla chips or scoops.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 2 lb pork sausage

Vegetables

  • 10 oz Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies), drained

Dairy

  • 16 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Instructions

  1. Brown the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pork sausage, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula as it browns evenly.
  2. Drain Excess Grease: Once the sausage is fully cooked and no longer pink, carefully drain off the excess grease to reduce fat content, then return the sausage to the skillet.
  3. Add Tomatoes: Drain the liquid from the Rotel tomatoes and add just the diced tomatoes and green chilies to the sausage in the skillet, mixing well.
  4. Add Cheeses: Incorporate the cubed Velveeta and softened cream cheese into the skillet with the sausage and tomatoes.
  5. Melt and Combine: Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to ensure the cheeses melt completely, creating a hot, bubbly, and smooth dip.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove from heat and let the dip cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy with tortilla chips or scoops for an ideal game day treat.

Notes

  • Use a lean pork sausage to reduce fat if desired.
  • Be sure to drain the Rotel tomatoes to prevent the dip from becoming too watery.
  • Stir frequently when melting cheeses to avoid burning or sticking to the pan.
  • This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker during a party.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
