A creamy and flavorful dip perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in.
Cook the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
Ensure the sausage is fully cooked and crumbly for the best texture.
Add the softened cream cheese to the skillet with the sausage and stir until melted and well combined.
Cut the cream cheese into smaller pieces for quicker melting.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Mix well and heat through.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve warm with chips or your choice of dippers.
Keep the dip warm in a slow cooker for longer gatherings.
