Awesome But Simple Cheese Dip Recipes

AWESOME ITALIAN SAUSAGE CREAM CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• 1. Gather your ingredients.
• 2. Remove the skins from the tomatoes (blanching) and small dice.
• 3. De-seed the jalapeños and small dice.
• 4. Place the Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat.
• 5. Cook until no longer pink.
• 6. Chef's Note: As the sausage is cooking, break into small bits with a wooden spoon.
• 7. Pour out any excess oil, and then add the tomatoes, chilies, and crushed red pepper.
• 8. Cook for about 5 minutes, and then cover, turn heat down to low, and allow to lightly simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the peppers are softened.
• 9. Remove from heat, and then add the cream cheese.
• 10. Stir until fully incorporated.
• 11. Add the sour cream.
• 12. Stir until fully incorporated.
• 13. Chef's Note: Using your taste buds, add a bit of salt, pepper, or any additional spices that you feel will help.
• 14. Chef's Note: Add spices a bit at a time and then taste... season and taste. Remember, good cooks always taste their food.
• 15. Serve with tortilla chips, sliced baguette or thick ripple potato chips. Enjoy.
• 16. Chef's Tip: This really does taste good right out of the pan, but it does taste better the next day. I let it cool down on the counter for about an hour or so, and then place into a bowl, cover with a bit of cling wrap, and then place in the fridge... This gives the spices and flavors a chance to get to know each other better. The only problem with this is that it seldom makes it to the refrigerator...
• 17. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
