Cheesy Sausage Rotel Dip
Cheesy Sausage Rotel Dip is a mouth-watering and hearty dip that’s made with just three ingredients: Melted cheese, flavorful browned ground pork, and spicy Ro-Tel tomatoes with chilies.
Get those tortilla chips and other dipping snacks ready because this is a dip you DON’T want to miss out on. It’s so good, you could even eat it by the spoonful!
Recipe Notes:
- Velveeta cheese is a well known processed cheese. You could certainly use another type of processed cheese that melts well without clumping.
- A helpful way to keep this dip warm for longer is to place it in a small Crock Pot, stirring the dip mixture every 10-15 minutes.
- Be careful when reheating this dip. When cheese is overheated it can quickly become grainy in nature…so even when reheating, remember to add some liquid such as milk.
I know many who would eat this delicious dip by the spoonful, myself included! Of course, if you are offering this cheesy sausage Rotel dip to guests, consider serving it with:
– Freshly sliced carrots, or cucumber
– Raw broccoli
– Celery sticks
– Pretzels
– Nachos (using the dip as a topping)
– Tortilla chips
– Crusty bread
– Salty crackers
Absolutely! You can make this delicious dip with ground beef, ground chicken, or even ground turkey.

Yes, it can! Once made, either store the dip in an airtight container or add it to a dipping bowl, covered tightly with plastic wrap, to be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
Dairy ingredients do have a tendency to lose their original texture when frozen so while you could technically freeze this cheesy sausage Rotel dip, there is a risk of the dip getting a grainy texture.
What variations can I make to this Cheesy Sausage Rotel Dip?
- Consider adding a packet of taco seasoning to this dip to give it a taco flavor. Other great flavor additions include garlic and onion powder.
- If the dip isn’t hot enough for your liking, add in some cayenne pepper for an added kick of heat. Sliced jalapeno is also a great way to increase the overall heat of this dip.
- Likewise, if you don’t enjoy any kick of spicy heat to your food, use a regular can of crushed tomatoes in this dip recipe instead of Rotel tomatoes.
- Make this dip in a slow cooker instead of in a skillet. First brown the sausage in a pan, draining the excess fat prior to adding to the slow cooker with all other ingredients to cook for 30 minutes on LOW, stirring occasionally.
