How to Make Ninja Foodi Cowboy Sausage Dip
Brown the Sausage: Set the Ninja Foodi to Sauté. Add the sausage and minced garlic, breaking the sausage apart as it cooks. Cook until browned and fully cooked.
Add the Ingredients: Stir in the Rotel tomatoes, drained black beans, garlic powder, onion powder, and cubed Velveeta cheese.
Melt the Cheese: Close the air fryer lid and set the Ninja Foodi to 350°F for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
Stir and Serve: Stir everything together until creamy and serve warm
Tips I Found Helpful 💙
- Drain the Sausage: Remove excess grease after browning to keep the dip from becoming oily.
- Cube the Velveeta: Cut the cheese into small cubes so it melts evenly.
- Drain the Beans: Rinse and drain the black beans before adding them to the dip.
- Stir Before Serving: Mix everything together until the cheese is smooth and creamy.
How to Store Cowboy Sausage Dip
Store leftover Cowboy Sausage Dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat, stirring until warm and creamy. Add a splash of milk if the dip becomes too thick.
