This dip will become one of your favorites, I have made this many times recently for a test run for the holidays and plan on making it many time more! If you use spicy sausages you might want to omit the Tabasco, if you are not a garlic-lover then omit the fresh garlic completely. This makes a lot of dip but you can cut the recipe in half if desired. Ingredients:
2 lbs italian sausages (casings removed) |
1 small onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup) |
2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic |
2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained |
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened |
tabasco sauce |
2 cups shredded old cheddar cheese (or to taste) |
Directions:
1. Prepare a greased 2 to 3-quart casserole dish.
2. In a skillet cook the sausage with onions and garlic breaking the meat up with a spoon while cooking; cook until until meat is no longer pink, drain fat set aside.
3. Drain the diced tomatos with green chiles, but reserve 1/2 cup liquid.
4. In a bowl mix the cooked sausage mixture with the diced tomato and green chiles, reserved 1/2 cup liquid and the softened cream cheese; mix very well to combine.
5. Season with a few drops of Tabasco or to taste.
6. Transfer the mixture to prepared casserole dish.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.
8. Remove from oven and sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese; return to oven and bake about 5-7 minutes more.
9. Serve with corn chips.
10. Delicious!
