Pimento Cheese Sausage Dip
This creamy Pimento Cheese Sausage Dip is a classic Southern appetizer made with just three simple ingredients. Savory sausage, tangy pimento cheese, and rich cream cheese melt together into a warm, indulgent dip that’s perfect for game day, holidays, or casual gatherings.
Equipment
- Skillet
- Wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork sausage (breakfast or Italian)
- 12–15 oz pimento cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
- green onions or extra pimentos (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fully browned, breaking it into very small crumbles.
- Drain the cooked sausage thoroughly and pat with paper towels to remove as much grease as possible.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the cream cheese and pimento cheese.
- Stir continuously until the cheeses are fully melted and the dip is smooth and creamy.
- Transfer to a serving bowl or small slow cooker on WARM. Garnish if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Draining the sausage thoroughly is critical to prevent the dip from becoming greasy or separating.
