Cheesy Hot Italian Sausage Dip

Servings: 6
Description

A cheesy, sweet and spicy delight of a dip packed with Hot Italian Sausage, BBQ sauce, and a blend of cheeses.  Topped with green onions and sliced pepperoncini for that added kick.  

Ingredients
  • 12 oz Hot Italian Sausage (casings discarded)
  • 1 cup Red onion (finely chopped)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced or ran through a garlic press)
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for garnish)
  • 8 oz Cream cheese
  • 1.5 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 1/4 cup Pepperoncini (finely chopped for garnish)
  • 1 Green onion (finely chopped for garnish)
Instructions
  1. 1

    In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up into crumbles, until cooked through. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside. 

  2. 2

    Return the same skillet to medium-high heat and stir in the red onions, garlic, salt, and black pepper.  Cook until golden and lightly caramelized, about 4 minutes. 

  3. 3

    Reduce heat to medium-low.  Add the BBQ sauce, cooked sausage, and cream cheese and stir until combined and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in shredded cheese and milk until combined.

  4. 4

    Garnish with green onions, pepperoncini, and drizzle extra BBQ sauce over top.  Serve with my homemade flour tortilla chips.
