Sausage Dip
Well folks, this is the final stop on the dip parade leading up to the Super Bowl. One last snack idea for you before you hit the grocery store and start executing your game day menu! This is also the final dip I have to share from the dip party that my best friend threw in December. I definitely think that we should be making that some type of seasonal occurrence. It was way too much fun and the dips too good to only do it once! This is another delicious, easy recipe (only three ingredients!) that you can add to your spread. I don’t think anyone can have too many easy, delicious recipes to turn to for various occasions :)
Although the recipe states to microwave this after combining the ingredients, I think you could also heat it on the stovetop, or even covered in the oven. Whichever is easiest for you!
I love all of the chunks of sausage in this recipe, and the bite from the picante sauce. You can control how spicy you’d like your dip to be by buying mild, medium or hot picante sauce – whatever your personal preference is! I would caution to not stray from the “regular” sausage flavor – I’m not sure this would taste as good with a maple flavor!
Thanks to Beth’s sister’s friend Jessica for this recipe!

1. Brown the sausage, breaking it up and crumbling it as it cooks. Once cooked through, remove from skillet with a slotted spoon and place in serving bowl. Mix in the cream cheese and picante sauce.
2. Microwave in 30 seconds increments, stirring between each, until the dip is heated through and the cream cheese is melted.
3. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips, pretzel crisps or crackers.

Ahhh, all of the dips you’ve posted look absolutely wonderful! I can’t decide which one to make!
And I am rooting for the Steelers, all the way! I’m not a huge football fan, but I’m pretty sure my dad has shirts that he wears to work, and Steelers shirts. He’s obsessed. He’s actually going to the Super Bowl this year. So I’m rooting for Steelers by default :P
I’ve literally seen coworkers eat this with a spoon straight out the serving bowl at company potlucks!
Oh my, this is something completely new to me. But I don’t see how it wouldn’t be delicious!
I make this pretty often but substitute the picante sauce with a couple of cans of Rotel tomatoes. Delicious and always a crowd pleaser!
My mom makes a similar dip with salsa, sausage, and cheese in the crockpot. Like others have already said, this dip is simply amazing.
P.S. Steelers! :) One of my students is a HUGE Steelers fan. We’re wearing matching Polamalu jerseys today. I just scored major bonus points with a nine year old. :)
Cool idea!
This recipe sounds delish! Rooting for the Steelers! As we live near Chicago and we are Bears fans! And, you know how Bears fans feel about the Packers!
I hope the Steelers win! Fingers are crossed for you! Great game day food!
MMMM, love me some dip! This one looks fabulous :)
Yummy dip! I honestly don’t know who to root for, but since I’m a Cleveland Browns fan, I think I have to lean more toward the Packers! :-P
PACKERS! I love dips and I love sausage — this looks like perfection!
Now it’s time to go shopping! Wonderful dip, tasty and simple! Mostly love the fact that there are just three ingredients! Thank you for sharing :)
Love the pictures and such a easy one.. Next time I have friends will try this out..
I’ve made a similar recipe to this many times before, and it’s ALWAYS a hit at parties. Yours looks so delicious! Thanks for sharing, and hope you have a great Superbowl weekend!
I’m tempted to mix some Velveeta into that, lol!
Steelers all the way! I am a Pittsburgh girl through and through!
This is totally my kind of meal!!
This dip sounds so good, and I like the fact that it only has 3 ingredients!
this looks sooo good! i might have to try it with veggie sausage. or i’ll just have to make it with real sausage to make everyone else happy, while i stare at it longingly.
I like this. Maybe I should sub turkey sausage in light of the Mr.’s high blood pressure. And he probably wouldn’t even notice. Thanks for all of the game day ideas.
