Slow Cooker Sausage Dip

 


How to Make Slow Cooker Sausage Dip

1. Brown the Sausage

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon.
Cook until fully browned and no pink remains (about 7–10 minutes).

Drain excess grease so the dip stays creamy, not oily.

2. Prep the Slow Cooker

Lightly spray the inside of a small slow cooker with nonstick spray for easier cleanup.
Add the cubed processed cheese to the bottom.

3. Add Sausage & Tomatoes

Spoon the browned sausage over the cheese.
Pour the entire can of diced tomatoes with green chilies (including liquid) over the top.

4. Cook Until Melted

Cover and cook:

  • LOW: 1½–2 hours

  • HIGH: About 1 hour

Stir every 30 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.

The dip should be creamy, bubbly, and filled with sausage crumbles and bits of tomato and green chilies.

5. Stir & Serve

Give everything a good stir to fully combine.
Switch the slow cooker to WARM for serving.

Serve straight from the crock — and watch it disappear.
