The Ultimate Super Bowl Dip

When it comes to the Super Bowl, I like to pull out all the stops for game day snacks. The more ooey-gooey, cheesy, and indulgent the better. The problem is, there are so many amazing and delicious dips out there, it is hard to choose just one to serve!
That’s why I love this “Ultimate Super Bowl Dip.” It combines all my favorite flavors from a variety of different dips. Not only do you have two different kinds of cheese, there is spinach, Italian sausage and peppers. Red peppers for color and rings of sweet banana peppers for flavor.
Take this dip to a whole new level and serve with blue corn tortilla chips, bagel chips or warm baguette slices. Come on! It’s the Super Bowl, up the ante this year and serve the ultimate chips and dip your guests are sure to remember.
Cheesy Italian Sausage Dip (click here to view and print recipe)
8 ounces bulk sweet or hot Italian sausage
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 packages (8 ounces each) reduced fat block-style cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 cups finely shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup light sour cream
2 cups chopped fresh spinach leaves
1/3 cup mild banana pepper rings, drained and chopped
For serving: Blue corn tortilla chips, bagel chips, or sliced baguette
Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet, cook sausage, onion, red pepper, and garlic until sausage is browned, stirring often; drain off fat and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, stir together cream cheese, Parmesan, milk, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Add sausage mixture, spinach, and banana peppers; gently stir to combine. Spread the mixture into a 9-inch fluted quiche dish or deep dish pie plate. Bake about 30 minutes or until bubbly. Serve hot with bagel chips, tortilla chips, or baguette slices. Serves 8-10.

I haven’t seen too many dips that call for sausage. Sounds great.
WHYYYYY is the Super Bowl when I’m trying NOT to eat cheesy, heavenly goodness?? I might have to break the rules and just jog in place while I eat it. Looks great.
I’m adding Artichokes instead of the sausage!! Sounds Delish!!
Loving this and thinking of so many ways you could change it up a bit for fun! Thanks so much for sharing the YUMMINESS!
I substitute the sausage for chorizo or I cut the sausage back and put mushrooms in. I also don’t use pork sausage, I use turkey or chicken sausage. Artichokes are good as well. I put diced fresh tomato on top of mine as well. It is yummy
What a huge hit. 10 guys over for the superbowl and they devoured this dish. Monster of a hit. It’s super easy to make and you can make it ahead of time and then pop it into the oven before you’re ready to serve. Will definitely be breaking this out again soon.
