Spicy Sausage Cheese Dip

Keto Snack Recipes > Keto Recipes

I’ve been seeing a lot of Pinterest pins for dips lately. It reminded me of this one Mexican restaurant I used to visit that had the best spicy sausage dip. So in memory of the delicious dip I used to eat, I created my own keto version.

Spicy Sausage Cheese Dip

I’ve always had a love for spicy foods, and this dip was no exception. For the Italian sausage, I choose to use the hot kind. For an extra kick of spiciness, I added a can of hot Ro*Tel. If you’re not familiar with Ro*Tel, it’s diced tomatoes and green chilies. The hot version uses habaneros. Definitely not for the faint of heart!

Since I love my dips cheesy, I used a mix of cream cheese and diced up some pepper jack cheese. You can use whichever cheese you like, but I really like this combination in the dip.

If you prefer a dip that is a little less spicy, just use mild Italian sausage and a regular can of Ro*Tel.
