Let’s talk about our sausage!

You have some great options for the type of sausage you use to make this dip. You can use plain ground pork if you’d like. This is fresh ground pork which is unseasoned, or simply seasoned with salt. You can also use pork sausage to make this dip. I love using mild Italian sausage as it’s nicely seasoned and adds amazing flavor to all kinds of dishes. If you’d like to add some heat and spice to your dip, you can use hot Italian sausage. Another fun option is to use pork breakfast sausage, either mild or hot. If you use seasoned sausage, you’ll want to check your nutrition labels to make sure there are no unwanted added ingredients. Whichever kind of pork you use, after cooking it you’ll want to drain the grease before adding the meat to your crockpot.

What other ingredients go into this creamy Rotel sausage dip?

The creamy base for our dip is a combination of cream cheese and sour cream. This gives our dip amazing creaminess and awesome flavor! I recommend starting with softened cream cheese and using full fat cream cheese and sour cream. For the Ro-Tel, I used original Ro-Tel. It has just a touch of heat to it. If you’d like an even milder dip, you can use mild Ro-Tel. If you’d like a hotter dip, you’ll be happy to know Ro-Tel makes a hot version! I don’t drain the Ro-Tel and think the consistency of this dip is perfect. To complete our dip, we add fried and crumbled bacon and sliced green onions. These add awesome texture and incredible flavor to our dip. Depending on the type of sausage you use, you may want to give your dip a taste and add a little salt if you’d like.

What are some ways I can serve this creamy Rotel sausage dip?

You have some superb low carb options for serving this dip! I love serving it with raw vegetables. Some great low carb options include broccoli, cauliflower, celery, cherry or grape tomatoes, cucumbers, mushrooms, radishes, and sliced bell peppers. You can also serve this dip with cheese whisps, keto crackers, or pork rinds. Some other fun options for dippers include using cheese slices or meats such as pepperoni or salami. If you don’t want to use dippers, I can attest to the fact that this dip is incredibly delicious served just as it is in a bowl with a spoon! If you have leftover dip, it reheats well either in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stovetop.
