Ingredients
- 1 lb ground sausage (mild or spicy)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 (10 oz) can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt to taste

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish.
