To understand this tomato and burrata salad, all you need to know is that burrata is Italian for “buttered.” Burrata is substantially thicker and creamier than mozzarella, making a comparison between the two relatively unfair. The comparison is more akin to apples and supermodels than apples and oranges.

I have made this dip for years, but without the sour cream. I really couldn’t believe the difference made it. Dip was much creamier and has excellent taste. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome recipe! Very smooth and creamy and not to hot, just a little kick which I like. Thanks for sharing!
A little to processed cheesy for me….
Made it exactly like it called for. Will thin it out with a little milk next time BUT very creamy and tasty. Definitely a keeper. Btw, I used Kraft sour cream (it’s creamier than Daisy).
yummy! I love what the sour cream does for this! I couldn’t find hot Rotel (which is what I wanted) so I used medium and just threw some chopped jalapenos in to get that spiciness. Thanks for the fantastic cheese dip!
My family & I love this dip with tortilla chips. I substitued the processed cheese with cream cheese; which for us was even tastier.
This was very easy and good. Great for the game. Read a few reviews and added some additional salsa rather than just chilis.
Wonderful! I made this for our superbowl get-together and everyone loved it. I didn’t have very much time so I did cheat and used salsa instead of the actual veggies, but I don’t think it made too much of a difference.
the men at parties LOVE this one. I have taken to using spicy turkey sausage, and always add chopped black olives. this is one of those dips you can dump the kitchen sink into, and it just gets better. recipe makes a lot – and that’s good, because they will EAT IT! (I use frito’s to dip, but good with tortilla chips too)
This is delicious! The first time I made it, it was for 6 adults and 5 children, and it was devoured. Makes a lot. Two adults asked for the recipe. It has a little kick to it, but not too much for kids. Even leftover dip reheated well and tasted great the next day. Wonderful!!
I used San Marzano tomatoes and some oregano to make it more Italian and less Mexican for one of our football parties. One friend made the same dip (we didn’t plan very well!) but she followed the recipe exactly. Both were really good, and you really couldn’t tell much of a difference between the two.
This makes a huge amount. I don’t think my sausage was spicy enough. I had to add a good amount of Tobasco to give this some heat. I didn’t notice any benefit to adding the sour cream. I tried it with and without and there was no difference to me. I think I will just stick with the cheese and a can of chili like I have always done. The extra ingredients were no big deal to me.
Really good & very easy!
I made this for a baby shower exactly as the recipe instructed and it was a hit. Everyone commented on it and wanted the recipe.Will definetly make again.
Very good…but it needs either more sausage or less cheese. And next time I want to try it with “real” cheese!
Completely yummy!
Made this for a football play-off party and it was a smash hit! People were just standing at the crockpot scooping away. The host demanded the recipe( and I already had given it to his wife!) Only comment was maybe use more sausage next time to give it a heartier texture. Also, I used a 14.5 oz. can of tomatoes w/chilies in lieu of the 10 oz.
Loved it – delicious dip. I’d make this again in a second.
Excellent!!!! … and so easy to prepare. Everyone loved this one.
This is a hit at every gathering I prepare it for. It makes a lot, but I never have any left…
good dip! pretty easy to make–it all depends on the kind of sausage you use! i recommend using ground chorizo.
