The Recipe How-To
Now that you have all your ingredients on hand, it’s time to start cooking this delicious White Trash Dip recipe. This recipe is so easy and quick to make that you won’t believe how delicious it will turn out.
Step 1: Cook the Sage Sausage
Cook the sage sausage in a skillet over medium heat for about five minutes, or until fully browned. Make sure to break up the sausage while cooking it, so it’s easier to mix with the other ingredients later on.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheese Mixture
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.
Step 3: Add Remaining Ingredients
Add the cooked sage sausage, along with one can of refried beans, one chopped green chile, and one can of chili beans. Mix all these ingredients together with a spoon or spatula.
Step 4: Bake and Serve
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the mixture into an 8×8 inch casserole dish prepared with non-stick cooking spray. Top off the mixture with shredded cheddar cheese. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until hot and bubbly on top.
Once ready, allow the dip to cool for a few minutes before serving with a variety of dipping choices like tortilla chips, corn chips, or crackers.
Now sit back and enjoy your self-proclaimed white trash dip while hosting your guests at your next party!
Substitutions and Variations
One of the best things about White Trash Dip is its versatility. You can customize it to your liking with various substitutions and variations on the traditional recipe.
If you’re looking for a healthier option, try using low-fat cream cheese and sour cream, turkey sausage, or even vegetarian sausage crumbles.
For a twist on the classic recipe, consider adding in some jalapeños or diced bell peppers for some extra heat and crunch. You could also replace the cheddar cheese with pepper jack or add in some diced avocado for a creamy, cool contrast.
If you want to switch up the texture, try making it into a White Trash Queso by adding in some diced tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro for a chunky dip that’s perfect for scooping up with tortilla chips.
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.
No matter how you choose to customize your White Trash Dip, the possibilities are endless. Experiment and have fun finding your own spin on this party favorite!
Serving and Pairing
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
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!
