This 5-Ingredient Football Dip is the ultimate game-day snack. It’s cheesy, creamy, savory, and just the right amount of spicy—all made in one skillet or slow cooker. With minimal ingredients and maximum flavor, this crowd-pleasing dip is a must-have at your next tailgate, potluck, or cozy night in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground sausage (spicy or mild)
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese
  • 1 (10 oz) can Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chiles), undrained
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbled. Drain excess grease if needed.
  2. Reduce heat to low and stir in the cream cheese and Rotel. Cook until the cream cheese melts and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Add shredded cheddar cheese and stir until completely melted and gooey.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream until fully combined.
  5. Transfer to a serving bowl or slow cooker to keep warm. Serve with tortilla chips or crackers.

Notes

  • Use hot sausage or spicy Rotel if you want more heat.
  • To make ahead, store in the fridge and reheat gently before serving.
  • Thin out with a splash of milk if it thickens too much.
  • Great with pepper jack cheese or extra toppings like green onions or cilantro.
