Instructions:
- Cook the sausage:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain any excess fat.

- Add the drained diced tomatoes with green chilies, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
- Simmer:
- Let the dip simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and creamy.
