Anne's Hot Sausage Dip

Yummy! Next time will mix cheese in or leave out, as dish cooled it got that hardish shell on top, but not a huge deal. Mixed the leftovers with two scrambled eggs the next morning, as one reviewer suggested, baked at 350 for about 35 minutes and had a delicious brunch casserole the next day!

Very easy & good recipe. I didn't understand why the recipe calls for you to drain 1/4 cup liquid from the tomatoes & chilies and then in the next step tell you to add it back in. I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to do so I met in the middle somewhere. I kept about 1/8 cup out. If I were to do it again, I think I would leave the drained 1/4 cup out all together. All it did was thin out the dip. I used a zesty hot ground sausage (Bob Evans) and it was definitely fine. But I'm thinking your final results will depend on using a brand and type that suits your tastes.

This recipe gets 5 stars because it is easy, fast and delicious. I used hot Italian sausage, mixed the cheddar into the mixture prior to baking and sprinkled extra cheese on top. I cubed the cream cheese then gave it a short zap in the microwave so it was easier to mix thoroughly into the hot cooked sausage. I served with Artisan tortilla chips and it was a winner!

A hit for the Thanksgiving app! Super easy to prep and everyone LOVED it. It does take a little time to cook the sausage, just compared to a dip/appetizer where you can stir all the ingredients together without cooking anything first. I prepared it the night before - perfect!

This was so good and so easy to make! It was a big hit at the football party. Our team lost so it may be bad luck though. ;) Seriously, try this one!
