Ingredients

The best part of this dip is that it’s simple to make, and you will only need one large skillet our saucepan.

• Ground pork sausage – you can use your favorite brand of sausage. I used Premio brand of sausage, which I also used for this low carb biscuits and sausage gravy recipe.  Premio has quickly become my favorite sausage!  It’s so tasty!
• Petite tomatoes with green chilies like the Rotel brand
• Cream cheese – you can use full fat or low fat cheese, either option is fine. This ingredients is the key to a melty cheese dip.
• Real Mexican cheese blend, NOT processed velveeta cheese – I use the already shredded mix, but you can shred the cheese yourself mixing cheddar, monterey jack with mozarella cheese

Tips

There are no spices added in the ingredient list because all the flavor comes from the food!  Here are the best tips when you make a perfect dip.

• Pick a good quality sausage that isn’t made with any fillers like rice, flour, potato starch or breadcrumbs.
• Rotel brand has chilis mixed the the tomatoes. If you can’t find Rotel, then buy a small can of diced chiles or dice a fresh jalapeno for a spicy dip.
• Look at the ingredients on the can of tomatoes, and pick a brand without any added sugar to keep this appetizer low carb.
• Top with sliced

Customize to your preference with extra heat

You can always add some extra heat if you want this dip to be extra spicy by using spicy sausage. Look at the ingredient list for chili flakes or find a brand that markets itself with a HOT sausage label.

Another way to add spicy flavor is to add your favorite chili powder.
