Wholesome Skillet Sausage & Cheese Dip
A warm and creamy skillet dip featuring lean ground sausage, light cream cheese, zesty diced tomatoes with green chiles, and sharp cheddar. Perfect for a low-carb appetizer or snack!
Ingredients
- lean ground pork sausage (mild or spicy, your choice)
- 8 ounces light cream cheese softened and cubed
- 10 ounces can diced tomatoes with green chiles (like Rotel), well-drained
- 1/2 cup freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or other low-carb melting cheese)
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: In a medium skillet, brown your lean sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon until it's fully cooked and no pink remains. Carefully drain any excess fat for a lighter, healthier dip.
- Melt in Creaminess: Reduce heat to low. Stir in the softened, cubed light cream cheese. Keep mixing gently until it's completely melted and smooth, with no lumps. This makes your dip wonderfully creamy!
- Add Zesty Flavor: Stir in the well-drained can of diced tomatoes with green chiles. Heat gently until the mixture is warm and bubbly, allowing all the delicious flavors to meld together.
- Finish with Cheese: Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle in the freshly shredded cheddar cheese and stir until it's fully melted and wonderfully combined, creating a smooth, irresistible dip.
- Serve & Enjoy: Serve this warm, comforting dip immediately with your favorite healthy dippers like colorful bell pepper strips, crisp cucumber slices, or homemade low-carb veggie sticks or crackers!
