Spooky Halloween Dip Display (ROTEL Sausage Dip Recipe)

Trust me, you need to host an event with this Spooky Halloween Dip Display.  Who would not want a carved pumpkin filled with yummy Rotel Sausage Dip Recipe for halloween dip ideas

It is October and that means it is time to start thinking about Halloween.  Yes, my decorations are already out and even though my kids are older and no longer trick or treat, I will continue to spread the Halloween Spirit.

Food is one of my favorite ways to share the Halloween spirit and my kids are always hungry so this is a win-win.  My sister throws a huge Halloween party where she lives and so I went to her for some inspiration for our spooky Halloween Dip display.

I asked her for her favorite Dip she uses for Halloween.   She sent me her dip recipe that uses three simple ingredients:

  • RO*TEL® Original Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies
  • Odom’s Tennessee Pride Sausage
  • Great Value Cream Cheese
  • Chips for serving

This is no joke, simple and delicious is what we look for in our house.   This simple dip recipe is so great because RO*TEL provides an easy way to add a little extra flavor to any recipe.

How to make Halloween rotel dip in puking pumpkin dip

  • Simply cut the top off your pumpkin and clean out the insides.  (Rinse out the pumpkin a few times as well)
  • Cut two slits for the eyes
  • Cut a round circle close to the bottom of the pumpkin for the mouth
  • Place your pumpkin on a platter
  • Make your dip by browning the sausage first
  • Add the flavorful RO*TEL Tomatoes filled with diced Turkey mayors and Green Chilies (you can also choose the mild version)

Pour the dip into the pumpkin and watch it come out of the mouth.  (You may want the dip to cool slightly so it does not run out completely.)

 

Use a spoon to push dip out of the mouth if it is not coming out by itself.
