Anne's Hot Sausage Dip

We went and watched the Super Bowl at a friends house last night.  The food and the beer flowed at least until the lights went out at the game. 

I had to work yesterday so Michael was in charge of making what we were bringing over last night.  He did he usual fine job!  He had a recipe, he had a shopping list and off he went.  A friend from church had given me this treat, we had enjoyed at Tea Time after church one Sunday and it is delicious!!!!  Not healthy but tasty!  I do not know who the Anne is that this is named after but she deserves some kind of an award!!!  What you are seeing is the little bit that we brought home with us...I think Michael hid it from everyone else.

Anne's Hot Sausage Dip

1 lb hot sausage
1 package cream cheese, softened
1 10 oz can Rotelle tomatoes
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese

Cook sausage in a large skillet, stirring until the meat crumbles and is no longer pink, drain.  Drain tomatoes, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid.  Stir together sausage, diced tomatoes, reserved liquid and cream cheese.  Spoon into a lightly greased deep casserole dish.  Sprinkle with the cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly.

Now if you are like my husband and think that Rotelle tomatoes are a type of tomatoes just stop there!  They are a brand and they come with different spices and various levels of hotness.
