Notes
You can substitute ground sausage with turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter option.
For added flavor, consider mixing in some diced jalapeños or green onions.
The dip can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator; simply reheat before serving.
This dip pairs well with sliced vegetables for a healthier option for dipping.
