Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the ground sausage and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess grease and set aside.
  2. While the sausage cooks, soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes or microwave for 20-30 seconds.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and cubed Velveeta cheese. Stir until well combined.
  4. Incorporate the sautéed sausage, diced tomatoes, finely chopped onion, garlic powder, and taco seasoning into the cheese mixture. Stir for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and transfer the dip mixture to a greased baking dish. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until bubbly and slightly golden.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or baguette slices.
