Ingredients
  

For the Dip Base
  • 1 pound Jimmy Dean Sausage Any ground sausage can be used.
  • 11-12 oz Pimento Cheese Homemade pimento cheese can be an alternative.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the Sausage: In a non-stick skillet, add 1 pound of Jimmy Dean sausage over medium-high heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking apart until browned and no pink remains.
  2. Add the Cheeses: Once the sausage is fully cooked, reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in approximately 11-12 ounces of pimento cheese and 8 ounces of cubed cream cheese. Allow to melt, stirring gently for about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Incorporate the Tomatoes and Chilies: Add 1 cup of diced tomatoes and green chilies to the mixture. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until everything is well combined and heated through.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Once creamy and hot, transfer to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.
