Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (450 g) ground pork sausage
- 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 8 ounces (225 g) processed cheese (e.g., Velveeta), cut into cubes
- 1 cup (100 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Liquid and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 can (10 ounces or 280 g) diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Crumble the sausage in a spacious skillet, cooking over medium heat until it transforms into golden-brown, textured morsels. Eliminate any residual grease through thorough draining.
- Integrate softened cream cheese and processed cheese cubes directly into the sausage-filled skillet. Gently manipulate the mixture, encouraging the cheeses to surrender and melt into a creamy landscape.
- Introduce diced tomatoes with green chilies, milk, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Blend these elements into a harmonious mixture, ensuring comprehensive incorporation.
- Reduce cooking temperature to a gentle simmer, allowing the concoction to gradually transform. Periodically stir the mixture, watching as the cheeses dissolve and merge into a velvety consistency.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese into the mixture, stirring until it completely melts and integrates. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, calibrating the flavors to personal preference.
- Transfer the luxurious dip to an elegant serving vessel. Present alongside crisp tortilla chips, rustic crackers, or delicately sliced baguette for an irresistible appetizer experience.
Notes
- Choose lean or spicy sausage to customize flavor intensity and match personal preferences.
- Swap cream cheese with Greek yogurt or cottage cheese for lighter, protein-rich alternative that reduces overall calories.
- Test different cheese combinations like pepper jack or smoked gouda to create unique taste profiles without changing core recipe technique.
- Manage consistency by adding milk gradually and stirring continuously to prevent cheese separation or grainy texture.
