Party Panache, Hocus Pocus Party Dip
We had a super fun Saturday
A little batting practice as we entertained friends and watched football on the patio
It was chilly enough to light the fire around 4 pm
58 degrees was quite a difference than the 98 degrees we experienced 2 weeks ago!
Chilly enough for a nice hot and hearty dip!
This easy to make party dip will put a spell on your guests!
Brown the sausage and saute the onion & celery in the drippings
Add to a slow cooker with the drained corn and tomatoes
Top with cream cheese and white cheddar
Set the pot to low and cover
After about 1 hour, the cheese will be mostly melted
Stir and then add sour cream and remaining cheddar and stir again
Cover and let dip continue to cook on low for another hour
Serve with scoop style corn chips and provide a large serving spoon
Big E & CC were eating this like a vegetable side dish!
We nibbled on it all through the afternoon and evening
Some of us got quite energized!
A great day with family, friends, football and music!
HOCUS POCUS PARTY DIP
Equipment
- slow cooker
Ingredients
- 8 oz white cheddar grated
- 4 oz cheddar or Mexican blend grated
- 1 cup sour cream
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 cans 16 oz each sweet corn, drained
- 1 can Rotel tomatoes and green chilies drained
- 1/2 lb mild or hot Italian sausage or breakfast sausage
- 1/2 large onion diced
- 2 cups chopped celery
- Salt & pepper
- 1 clove garlic minced
Instructions
- Cook sausage in a skillet until browned and crumbly. Remove to paper towels to drain. Saute onion and celery in sausage drippings over medium heat until cooked through and softened, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer sausage, onion and celery to a sprayed slow cooker. Add drained corn and tomatoes. Cut cream cheese into 8 cubes and scatter on top of vegetables. Top with grated white cheddar. Cover and cook 1 hour.
- Stir to mix in cheeses. Add sour cream and remaining cup of cheddar. Stir again and recover. Dip should be hot and ready for serving after another hour. Dip will hold on low setting for quite a while. If your cooker has a warm setting you can turn it to warm.
- Serve dip with scoop style corn chips and a large spoon so guests can put a big dollop on their plates
- This makes an ample amount, approximately 8-10 cups. Refrigerate and reheat leftovers
Enjoy if you dare!

Jenna, family, friends, football, and music are perfect! The dip looks amazing as does a fire on the patio! Big E and CC had the right idea…sit next to the fire and chow down. Happy Thursday!
We were so excited it was finally fire weather! Cold this morning, 46, felt great!!
What a fun time! How awesome you could have a fire! Love the dip. So easy to make. And who doesn’t love the timeless movie, Hocus Pocus. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
thank you Cindy, we really enjoyed the first chill of fall finally!
What a fun day and evening! I love the fairy lights around the fire and the music and the dip looks fabulous!
Believe it or not, my son was actually the one who bought and draped the lights, be still my decorating heart!
Jenna, it looks like everyone had such a fun time! That dip recipe looks delicious. I can see my family enjoying this while watching football. Thanks for the recipe. I am envious of that beautiful fireplace and pizza oven. What wonderful times your family must have gathered around the fire. Happy Thursday!!!
We do love the fireplace, it turned the patio into another “room” in our house and it’s so much fun to entertain here!
Jenna, looks like such a fun day.
thanks Bonnie, there is nothing I’d rather do than gather with family and friends and watch football!
Family fun at your place! How wonderful!

Your recipe sounds delicious Jenna. This to me is the best for entertaining family and friends. This weather is awesome, such a relief from a couple of weeks ago. We are doing this very thing this weekend with our family! RTR
Oh good, that will be fun! I was surprised even the kids enjoyed the dip!!
What a relief to get cooler temperatures, Jenna! I have a dip that I make called Man Dip and my son and I can eat it as a meal. Your dip sounds perfect for a meal for me. I’m going to try it soon! You know how I love your recipes.
ha ha, Man dip! Have you posted it??
That sounds so yummy!
I tried to put a ton of veggies in it so it would be a little healthier 🙂
How delish Jenna! I know you and your family are thoroughly enjoying your outdoor kitchen and pizza oven! ♥
Yes, we really are, such a great place for gatherings!
It all looked stunning. And the dip I will have to try.
