Bring the game winning dip to your football gathering this season! This weekend I crocked in a mini-crock pot (four quart) …which I would highly recommend when making this dish. When making appetizers it is important to not over-stack a small crock-pots or leave too much wiggle room in larger crock pots.
Spicy Sausage and Cheese Dip will satisfy a group of up to 12 active munchers. Prep time is around 15 minutes due to browning the Jimmy Dean sausage and cook time in the crock pot is only two hours on High!
Personally, I find myself extremely sensitive to spicy things, yet the Rotel Tomatoes are not overpowering. Check out the Variations section at the bottom to switch up your dip. Drop your comments and pictures below or send us your masterpieces at: whatscrockingblog@gmail.com
Ingredients:
- 1 can of Rotel Tomatoes
- 1, 8 oz. package of cream cheese
- 12 oz. Jimmy Dean Original Pork Sausage
- 8 oz. Velveeta Original Cheese
Directions:
- Brown 12 ounce of Jimmy Dean Original Pork Sausage in a medium frying pan
- Drain grease
- Dump browned sausage in crock pot
- Add cream cheese package, Rotel Tomato can, Velveeta Cheese block
- Cook on High for two hours, stirring occasionally is okay
Variations:
- Spice it up: Try using Velveeta Jalapeño Cheese as a substitution for the Original or try a spicier Rotel Tomato
- Healthier: Fat Free Philadelphia Cream Cheese
- If you want to speed up the process even faster put the Velveeta block and cream cheese in the microwave, until it has softened
- Check out the Crocking on High OR Low for an infogrpahic of the time conversions

What’s pictured cannot be 8oz velveeta block. I ordered that size and it’s the size of a cream cheese block.

Look again. That is just a small appetizer crock pot. I make this a lot and I assure you I use a 8oz block of Velveeta. If I’m making for a large crowd, I’ll use the larger crockpot and double everything including using the 16oz block.

The package in the picture is 32oz, but I’m assuming she only uses a a quarter of the package.
