Slow Cooker Sausage Dip – The 3-Ingredient Crowd-Pleaser You’ll Make on Repeat

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Brown the Sausage

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up as it cooks.
Brown for 7–10 minutes until fully cooked and no pink remains.
Drain excess grease so the dip stays rich but not oily.

Step 2: Prep the Slow Cooker

Lightly spray the inside of a 2–4 quart slow cooker with nonstick spray.
Add the cubed processed cheese to the bottom.

Step 3: Add Sausage and Tomatoes

Spoon the browned sausage over the cheese.
Pour the entire can of diced tomatoes with green chilies (including liquid) on top.

Step 4: Cook Until Melted

Cover and cook:

• LOW: 1½–2 hours

• HIGH: About 1 hour

Stir every 30 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.

Step 5: Stir & Serve

Give everything a good stir until fully combined.
Switch to WARM setting to keep melty for serving.

Serve straight from the slow cooker — and be prepared for it to vanish quickly!
