Ingredients
– 1 pound of breakfast sausage (I usually go for the spicy variety)
– 8 ounces of cream cheese (softened)
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup salsa (choose your favorite kind, but I love a chunky one!)
– 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (drained)
– Optional: 1 teaspoon jalapeño (for an extra kick)
Equipment Needed
– Large skillet
– Mixing spoon
– Baking dish (an 8×8 inch works perfectly)
– Oven or slow cooker (depending on how warm you want to serve it)
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, crumble the breakfast sausage into a large skillet over medium heat. Cook it until browned, making sure to break it apart with your mixing spoon for that perfect crumble. The smell of the sausage cooking will waft through your kitchen and make your stomach growl! Once it’s fully browned, drain any excess fat and then reduce the heat to low before adding in the softened cream cheese. Stir until everything is creamy and combined.
