I don't think a party if complete without chips and dip. I didn't want to leave out a great dip recipe for the Five Days of Football Food series! This Spicy Sausage Dip is one of my favorite dips! I am partial to warm dips that involve tortilla chips. If you can throw the ingredients into your crock pot and be done…even better!
This Slow Cooker Spicy Sausage Dip is a great alternative to traditional Ro-Tel dip. Don't get me wrong…I love Ro-Tel dip….my brother brings it to a lot of family functions…and I always eat it!
I like to try out new things though and wanted to make something similar to Ro-Tel, but with a twist! This sausage dip turned out great!
I don't want the term “spicy” to scare you off….it isn't hot! My two-year old ate this without flinching just a few days ago! 🙂 I even used spicy sausage in mine…and it still wasn't too hot!
This is very easy to double or triple if you need a big batch.
What is your favorite dip for parties?

I like all things spicy so I know this dip would be a hit at my house and a welcome addition to our game day fun. I usually make the Rotel one (don’t we all?) but I’m going to try yours. Looks delish!
This dip is perfect for the Superbowl. Who doesn’t love a spicy sausage? Thanks for sharing your recipe in our Sunday Recipe Wrap Up Linky!
The spicier, the better for me! Love ’em chips and dips on weekends with friends.
I agree!! I have to tame it down for my family!!
I love when I can make my life easier and use my slow cooker. This dip would be great to enjoy while watching basketball this weekend!

That looks really yummy! All of the males in our house are total spice fiends, but I’m not really – but this looks like it would be easily adjustable with the addition of some hot sauce. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks Nicole!
One of the many reasons why I’ve thought about getting a slow cooker! This recipe looks delicious!
This is right up my alley. I love that it’s spicy, and I’d definitely use spicy sausage in it too.
Yum! My husband loves anything spicy. I will have to make this for him.
I agree with you. chips and dip is a must have for parties. That’s the only time we have it anyway coz we don’t really buy it without occasion.
My party favorites are artichoke and spinach dip. But, this spicy sausage dip looks super yummy!
My husband loves artichoke dip, but I have never made it at home! Will have to try it out!
I think its tradition to have chips and dip in a party since my husband always ask if I bought it we have party at home. I love slow cooker and make my life easier.
A slow cooker dip seems so nice. It looks so tasty! Got to keep this in mind the next time I have a party.
i haven’t made a dip in a while, but this looks delicious. 🙂 i actually like really spicy dip.. so i’d need to add a little more spice to mine.
I do too, but I have to tame it down a little for the rest of my family! 🙂
The spicer the better for sure! Thanks for this awesome recipe!
I love using my slow cooker! This sounds like an amazing dip to make up in the slow cooker!
Great ideas Mistee!
I promise I am making this tonight. It looks so delicous!
Let me know what you think!
This dip sounds absolutely delish! My husband loves anything spicy, so this is right up his alley!
My hubby will love this recipe. Although I’m not a fan of sausage, he is and we always have it stocked in the fridge. I’ll be his favorite if I make this for him 🙂
Oh my! This sounds like an amazing dish! 🙂 This would be so perfect for a football game 🙂 Yum! I will definitely be pinning this for later. I love how easy it looks to make, too!
Thanks Breanna!
