Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound ground Italian sausage, casings removed (I prefer hot Italian sausage to mild)
three 8-ounce blocks cream cheese (I used 2 regular fat blocks and 1 lite)
)
fresh cilantro or parsley for garnishing, optional
fresh red bell peppers for garnishing, optional

Steps:

Instant Pot - Add the sausage and saute it until it's cooked through. Switch to slow cooker mode, add the cream cheese, Rotel, cover, and cook until the cream cheese has melted and dip can be stirred smooth, about 30 minutes or as necessary. Optionally garnish before serving. Stovetop - Add the sausage to a large saute pan or Dutch oven and saute it over medium-high heat until it's cooked through. Reduce the heat to medium low, add the cream cheese, Rotel, cover, and cook until the cream cheese has melted and dip can be stirred smooth, about 5 to 10 minutes; stir intermittently while simmering. Optionally garnish before serving.Slow Cooker - Add the sausage to a large saute pan or Dutch oven and saute it over medium-high heat until it's cooked through. Transfer sausage to slow cooker, add the cream cheese, Rotel, cover, and cook until the cream cheese has melted and dip can be stirred smooth, about 30 to 45 minutes depending on high or low cooking temp and your slow cooker. Optionally garnish before serving.
