How to Make Cowboy Crack Dip in the Crock Pot 

• Step 1 – Brown the spicy sausage in a large skillet over medium heat.  Break up the sausage as it cooks.  Drain off the excess grease. 

• Step 2 – Add the browned ground sausage and the remaining ingredients to a crock pot including the can of rotel with diced green chilis.

• Step 3 – Cook on low for 1-2 hours until the sharp cheddar cheese shredded is melted and dip is cooked. 
• Step 4 – Top with green onions, dill or fresh cilantro and serve with chips and enjoy! 

Tips & Tricks

• Cheese – We recommend shredding the cheese yourself instead of using pre-shredded cheese. It has added ingredients and doesn’t always melt very well.
• Cream Cheese – Once the cream cheese has melted and combined with the other ingredients, set your slow cooker to warm. This keeps the cream cheese from curdling.
• Sausage – After spicy sausage is browned and drained, add to the slow cooker with the other ingredients.
