This 3-ingredient slow cooker sausage dip is the kind of recipe that makes you shake your head and say, “Oh my lord, that’s it?” It reminds me of church potlucks and Friday night card games out here in the country, where someone would show up with a little crockpot that emptied faster than anything else on the table. Just pork sausage, Velveeta, and a can of diced tomatoes with green chiles—no fancy tricks, no extra fuss. It’s the sort of easy, cozy dip that fits right into a Midwestern kitchen, where practicality and comfort have always gone hand in hand.
Serve this dip hot right out of the slow cooker with sturdy tortilla chips, corn chips, or thick-cut crackers so they don’t break in the cheese. It’s also wonderful spooned over baked potatoes, tater tots, or a pile of tortilla chips for quick nachos.
For a simple game-day spread, set it alongside a veggie tray and a bowl of pickles so folks can balance the richness. Keep the slow cooker on warm during gatherings so everyone can come by, scoop a little, and chat like we used to around the old farmhouse kitchen table.
3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Sausage Dip
Servings: 8-10
Ingredients
1 pound ground pork sausage (mild or hot)
1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chiles, undrained
Directions
Brown the pork sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, until it is no longer pink and lightly browned, about 7–10 minutes.
Drain off any excess grease from the cooked sausage to keep the dip from becoming too oily.
