In a mixing bowl, combine 2 packages of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of sour cream, and 2 cans of Rotel. Use an electric mixer to thoroughly blend the three ingredients together.

Another variation to consider is making “Trailer Trash” Dip by swapping out the sage sausage for ground beef and adding in a can of drained corn.

Now that you’ve whipped up this fantastic white trash dip recipe, it’s time to think about how to serve it up for your guests. You can keep the dip warm or at room temperature, depending on your preferences. Personally, I like it warm, fresh out of the oven, but cold is great too!
One of the best things about this dip is its versatility in the serving department. You can serve it with tortilla chips, pita bread, crackers, pretzels, or even some sliced veggies like carrots and celery. Serving in a bread bowl takes this fabulous spread over the top!
For those wanting a heartier meal choice; try adding a scoop or two of trash dip atop nachos or fries.
And about pairing; The trash dip goes well with beers and cocktails alike. My personal favorite? A classic margarita! A tangy cocktail perfectly complements this cheesy delight – more so when you add a tequila shot to the mix.
This makes for a perfect snack board offering for game night, picnics and even stash up for munching while watching movies. If you don’t end up finishing the whole batch (unlikely), it stores very well in the fridge and reheats great too!
Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating
![Serve this dip with your favorite chips, crackers or veggies and you're good to go!](https://cookinfanatic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/serve-this-dip-with-your-favorite-chips-crackers-or-veggies-and-youre-good-to-go.jpg)
One of the biggest selling points of this white trash dip recipe is that it can be made ahead of time, stored, and reheated easily. This makes it an especially appealing appetizer for parties and gatherings because you can make it a day or two in advance, leaving you with more time to focus on other preparations.
To make ahead of time, simply prepare the dip as instructed in the recipe and transfer it to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to three days until ready to serve. Before serving, simply reheat the dip over low heat on the stove or in the microwave until warmed through. You may need to add a splash of milk or sour cream to thin out the consistency if it has thickened during refrigeration.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. To reheat a small portion, microwave on high until heated through, stirring every 20 seconds to prevent hot spots. For larger portions, reheat in a saucepan over low heat until warmed through.
One thing to keep in mind is that this dip does contain dairy products (cream cheese, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese) so it should not be left at room temperature for extended periods of time. To avoid food safety concerns, refrigerate any uneaten portions promptly after serving.
Overall, with its make-ahead option and easy storing and reheating process, this white trash dip recipe is a convenient option for any event or party.
Tips for Perfect Results

When making any dish, it’s important to know how to achieve the best possible outcome. Here are a few tips to ensure that your White Trash Dip turns out perfectly:
1. Use high-quality ingredients: The better quality your cheese, sausage, and other ingredients are, the tastier your dip will be. So don’t skimp on the quality.
2. Cook the sausage until browned: Before adding it to the cream cheese mixture, cook the sage sausage until it’s nicely browned. This gives it more flavor and enhances the texture of the dip.
3. Drain off excess grease after cooking: Once you’ve cooked the sausage and bacon for this recipe, drain off any excess grease. This not only makes the dip healthier but also helps keep it from being too greasy.
4. Add green chilies: One great way to add some extra flavor to your White Trash Dip is by adding chopped green chilies. They lend a mild spiciness that really complements well with the other ingredients.
5. Serve with tortilla chips or sliced baguette: This dip goes extremely well with tortilla chips or sliced baguette bread. When serving guests, be sure to have enough for everyone as they’re likely to ask for more than one serving!
6. Don’t overcook: Be sure not to cook this dip too long in the oven, as it can dry out quickly leaving you with a less appetizing cheesy look on top.
7. Keep dip warm while serving: If you’re making this dip ahead of time or if you want it to stay warm longer while serving, put it in a ceramic dish or slow cooker and set it on low heat.
Finally, remember that White Trash Dip is a party pleaser, so don’t hesitate to make big batches!
