Pimento Cheese Sausage Dip

Pimento Cheese Sausage Dip is always the surprise hit at parties! It adds amazing flavor and a new twist on the usual sausage cheese dip!

A DELICIOUSLY DIFFERENT CHEESE DIP

I think I have a new favorite dip! I love a good sausage dip made with Velveeta but I decided to switch out the Velveeta for pimento cheese and oh boy!! This was so amazing in flavor! The pimento cheese really adds extraordinary flavor to punch up your ordinary sausage dip. If you make this, your guests will all want to know what your secret ingredient is!

TIPS FOR MAKING PIMENTO CHEESE SAUSAGE DIP:

• This dip is creamy and savory and only has a very small kick of heat from the hot ground sausage. If you want even more heat, you could use a hot salsa or add some jalapeños. You can even find spicy pimento cheese as well.
• You can make it very mild by using a regular, non-spicy ground sausage as well as a mild salsa. Whatever your tastebuds prefer. It’s that easy!
• If you want to keep this warm while serving, put it into a small crock pot and keep it on the “warm” setting.
• Just buy your favorite pimento cheese. I usually grab what is on sale. My personal all-time favorite is Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit Pimento Cheese (you can find it at many Costco locations – but not all.) I don’t have a Costco near me but when I travel to one, I always pick up Callie’s. Palmetto cheese (shown below) is a close second.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)

• pimento cheese

HOW TO MAKE PIMENTO CHEESE SAUSAGE DIP:

Cook and crumble ground sausage until no longer pink.

Drain excess grease and put ground sausage back into pan. Add in cream cheese and salsa and stir.

And finally, stir in pimento cheese.

Cover and allow cheeses to melt slowly over low-medium heat. Stirring frequently. Note: Do not allow mixture to come to a simmer.

Once mixture is combined and melty, serve immediately. Note: you can keep this mixture in a small crock pot on the “keep warm” setting while serving.

• ▢ 11 ounce container pimiento cheese
• ▢ 1 pound hot ground sausage
• ▢ 8 ounce block cream cheese (cut into chunks)
• ▢ 1 cup salsa

Instructions

• Cook and crumble ground sausage until no longer pink.
• Drain excess grease and put ground sausage back into pan.
• Add in cream cheese and salsa.
• Then stir in pimiento cheese.
• Cover and allow cheeses to melt slowly over low-medium heat.
• Stirring frequently.
• Do not allow mixture to come to a simmer. You want it all to melt together slowly.

Notes

• You can keep this mixture in a small crock pot on the “keep warm” setting while serving.
• This dip is creamy and savory and only has a very small kick of heat from the hot ground sausage. Now, you could really add a lot more heat to this dish if you used a hot salsa and also used Price*s Southern Style Jalapeño Pimiento Cheese Spread. 
• You can make it very mild by using a regular, non-spicy ground sausage as well as a mild salsa. Whatever your tastebuds prefer. It’s that easy!
• Can’t find Price*s Pimento Cheese Spread? No problem? Just buy your favorite pimento cheese. It will still work with this recipe!
