Notes
Recipe copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only.
- Ground sausage: You can use hot or mild, depending on your preference. I used hot.
- Cream cheese: You can use reduced fat if you prefer. Full fat will be a bit creamier.
- Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes: If you can’t find fire roasted you could substitute some diced tomatoes with green chilies for a slightly southwestern flavor. Use mini tomatoes if you prefer smaller chunks in your dip.
- Complete seasoning: Complete seasoning is a pre-packaged seasoning mix of garlic, cumin, coriander, parsley and oregano. You can buy a jar or make your own complete seasoning.
- Mozzarella: For best results, grate your own rather than buying it pre-shredded.
- Don’t drain the tomatoes. The juice keeps the dip perfectly creamy and scoopable.
- Hot sausage adds amazing flavor if you like a little kick, but mild sausage works great for family-friendly versions. Choose what works best for you!
- Always watch carefully when you broil your dip. Different broilers come to different temperatures and you want your cheese bubbly, not burnt.
- You can keep this dip warm and ready for hours by setting it in a slow cooker. Do not add the cheese to the top, set the slow cooker to warm and stir occasionally to prevent separating.
