Sausage Pimento Cheese Dip- an easy, creamy, and cheesy southern dip that’s great for gameday or as a party appetizer.

This recipe is very similar to Rotel Sausage Dip, but it has the addition of pimento cheese. The pimentos add extra flavor and the mayonnaise in the pimento cheese makes the dip extra creamy and rich. I use store-bought pimento cheese. I like both Palmetto Cheese and Callie’s Pimento Cheese.

How To Serve Sausage Pimento Cheese Dip

I love this dip served with Frito Corn Scoops, but it is also great with tortilla chips, crackers, toasted baguette or ladle over crinkle fries for a southern take on cheese fries.

Ingredients Needed

1 Pound Breakfast Sausage– I use Jimmy Dean. Use “Hot” sausage if you want the dip spicier. Note: Italian sausage can be used instead of breakfast sausage.
Jalapeno– added for heat. Leave it out if you don’t want the dip spicy.

Cream Cheese– I recommend full-fat cream cheese. Take it out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before making the dip so it will melt evenly.

Rotel Tomatoes– use “Hot” Rotel Tomatoes if you want the dip extra-spicy. No need to drain the tomatoes.

Pimento Cheese– I use store-bought pimento cheese for ease and convenience. You want an 11 to 12-ounce container.

Green Onions– added for a little extra flavor.
