    Sausage con Queso Dip is an Easy Appetizer Recipe

    What I love best about this recipe is that the queso is really creamy and cheesy. Sometimes homemade versions end up grainy or stringy – not this one! I’m showing you how to make it so it has the best texture.

    I love adding sausage because it gives the dip so much flavor. The combination of the savory sausage with the creamy melted cheese is a perfect combination.

    Ingredients

    • Mild or spicy ground sausage
    • Finely chopped jalapeno pepper
    • Cubed cream cheese
    • Rotel (canned diced tomatoes and green chiles)
    • Shredded cheddar cheese
    • Sliced green onions

    How to Make Queso with Sausage

    Brown the sausage in a deep skillet along with the jalapeno. Once it’s cooked through, drain off the excess fat in the pan.

    Add the cream cheese and stir until it’s melted and smooth. Add the Rotel and cheddar cheese and stir continuously until the cheese is melted. Once the dip is bubbling hot it’s ready to serve.

    I like to garnish the queso with green onions, some diced tomatoes, and a little extra cheddar cheese on top. You can serve the dip straight from the skillet or transfer it to a serving bowl. Don’t forget the tortilla chips!

    What to Serve with Sausage Queso Dip

    I’ll be honest and say I can happily have just this sausage queso for dinner, but we love to serve it with other dishes for parties or family dinners. Here are some ideas:

    For Parties: It’s always a hit for parties and game-days especially when you add some baked taquitos, tater tot nachos, or some jalapeno poppers alongside it!

    For Dinner: Taco Tuesday is a whole lot better with some sausage queso dip! Serve it with some vegetarian fajitas, chicken fajitas, or taco bowls for an amazing weeknight dinner.

    So, are you ready to grab a bag of chips and start scooping? You are going to love this queso dip recipe!
