How Do I Store Sausage Dip?
This delicious appetizer is sure to be scooped up by all the guests at your party! But if you have some leftovers when the party is over, transfer them to an airtight container and place them in the refrigerator. The leftovers will stay good for up to four days.
You can also store the cooked dip in the freezer for more long-term storage. Allow the dip to cool completely, then transfer it to a freezer bag or freezer-safe container. The sausage dip will stay good frozen for up to three months.
Transfer the frozen dip to the refrigerator to thaw before reheating. Then, you can warm it up in the microwave. You can also reheat the dip in the slow cooker or the oven at 350 degrees.
What is the Best Type of Sausage for Slow Cooker Sausage Dip?
This simple three-ingredient dip gets most of its flavor from the sausage. That means picking the right type of meat is essential! I love using Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage when preparing this dip, because it's filled with flavor. But you could also use ground Italian sausage, spicy sausage, or plain ground pork to prepare this simple dip.
No matter what type of sausage you choose, cook the meat thoroughly before adding it to the slow cooker with the rest of your ingredients!
Do I Have to Use a Crockpot to Make This Dip?
Using your slow cooker is a great way to speed up the prep work on your dip. But it's not the only option for cooking your appetizer! In addition to your slow cooker, you can also make sausage dip:
- On the stovetop. After browning the sausage in your skillet, drain the excess fat from the pan and add the cream cheese and tomatoes. Stir the ingredients as the cheese melts and continue cooking until all the ingredients are well mixed.
- In the oven. Soften the cream cheese and stir it into the cooked sausage and Rotel. Transfer the ingredients to a baking dish and bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes.
