Do I have to bake sausage bean dip?

Yes. Even though the sausage, onion and peppers are fully cooked that sausage bean dip won't be as creamy or have as rich of a flavor if it's not baked.

What is the best way to reheat sausage bean dip?

Put the creamy sausage bean dip in a microwave safe container. Cover the container with a damp paper towel and heat for 30 second intervals until the bean dip is warm and creamy.

What should I serve sausage bean dip with?

I love to serve this creamy sausage bean dip with tortilla chips or small pieces of toasted bread.

What kind of sausage works best for this dip?

Italian style turkey sausage keeps this dip a little lighter, but any bulk pork sausage, chicken sausage, or even ground beef will work well too.

Can I make this in a slow cooker?

Yes. Cook the sausage, onion, pepper, and garlic in a skillet first, then transfer everything to a slow cooker with the remaining ingredients except the parmesan. Cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is fully melted.
