What is a Rotel Dip?

The original Rotel dip recipe combined processed Velveeta cheese with a canned green pepper called Ro-tel (or Rotel) and tomatoes. While most dip recipes typically microwave the two ingredients together, you can easily make stovetop or Crock Pot Rotel dips—all using less processed cheese!

Ingredient Description

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for your sausage dip, what each ingredient does in the recipe, and substitution options (more on the Variations section below). See recipe card below for measurements.

• grated Italian sausage – If you don’t like Italian seasoning, any pork sausage will do. Check out more meat ideas below!
• cheddar cheese – You can buy pre-shredded, but chopping your own will give your dip a smoother texture.
• cream cheese – This ingredient keeps the dip creamy without using processed cheese. I use the regular variety, but other savory ones will work too.
• Green Chili Tomatoes – Rotel is the most common brand, but you can also find other varieties in mild, medium, or hot flavors at the grocery store. You’ll need 2 cans of Rotel tomatoes for this recipe.
• green onion – They are optional but can make a fresh garnish.
