Ingredients
- 1 lb ground sausage
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes undrained
- 1 tablespoon Tex-Mex chili seasoning
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese
- salt to taste
- ground pepper to taste
- 1 jalapeno pepper optional mix-in or topping
- 4 cherry tomatoes optional topping
- 2 scallions optional topping
- cilantro optional topping
Instructions
- Add the ground sausage and diced bell pepper to a large cast-iron skillet and cook over medium-high heat until the sausage has browned and the peppers are tender.
- Drain any excess grease and reduce heat to medium-low. Add in the tomatoes, seasoning, mustard, and cream cheese and stir frequently until the cheese has melted.
- Stir in the shredded cheese until fully melted and add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy immediately with tortilla chips or crackers.
Notes
- You can use sweet or hot sausage in this recipe.
- If you can't find tex-mex seasoning, go ahead and use chili powder instead.
- If you like your dip spicy, increase the tex-mex seasoning to 2 tablespoons.
- Add diced jalapeno pepper into the mixture if you like it hot.
- If the mixture cools and gets dry or you have leftovers, add 1/4 cup of milk when you reheat it to make it gooey again.
- Slow Cooker Directions:
- Brown the meat with the green peppers and drain the grease as you would if you were making it in a skillet.
- Then, add everything to your slow cooker and cook for 1 to 2 hours on low, until the cheese is melted and the dip is gooey. Reduce heat to warm and serve straight from the slow cooker.
