Because I made my easy cheesy dip around Halloween originally, I served it up in a pumpkin. However, you can enjoy this easy sausage dip any time of year. Simply change up your serving vessel.

You really can't go wrong with a Ro*tel dip. This Cheesy Rotel dip only has 3 ingredients and is a crowd favorite during football season.
Ingredients
Yes, this is a 3-ingredient dip!
- RO*TEL tomatoes - I do prefer this brand but if you can't find them, grab any knock-off brand of diced tomatoes with chilies
- Cheese - Yes, I'm using Velveeta. Velveeta has a time and place and this is one of those times. Trust.
- Sausage - Country-Style Sausage
For ingredient amounts, please see the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.
Instructions
If serving in a pumpkin, start by prepping your pumpkin. If not serving for Halloween skip down.
Carefully cut the top from a small-ish pumpkin. I prefer to use an electric knife for this. Scoop out all the pumpkin "guts" and seeds. Be sure to set those seeds aside for roasting later.

Once your pumpkin is ready, set it aside and get the dip going. It's super easy.
Chop up the cheese and place in a bowl with RO*TEL® and cooked sausage.
TIP: Cook the sausage earlier in the day so it is ready to go when you want to prepare the dip!
Microwave for 3 minutes.
Stir to combine everything and put back in the microwave for another two minutes.
Seriously, that's it. My kind of recipe!
Place dip inside prepared pumpkin or in a bowl if you want to skip the pumpkin and serve with tortilla chips.
