Awesome Italian Sausage Cream Cheese Dip image

Here is a simple recipe for an awesome dip. I had a similar dip like this at the Old Ebbitt Grill in Washington DC. Didn't get the actual recipe, but I had a good idea what was in it. It goes well with a good crusty bread, chips, or tortillas. This recipe has a minimum of ingredients, and once complete, you can add additional...

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 lb pound of Italian sausage (mild or hot)
2 medium tomatoes, about 10 ounces
2 medium jalapeƱos, about 4 ounces
1 or 2 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
15 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 c sour cream
salt, kosher variety, to taste
ground pepper, freshly ground, to taste
cayenne pepper, optional
ground cumin, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Gather your ingredients.
  • 2. Remove the skins from the tomatoes (blanching) and small dice.
  • 3. De-seed the jalapeƱos 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.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this dip was surprisingly mild. The cream cheese and sausage were a great combination, and the spices were just right. I'll definitely be making this again.
