Ingredients
- 1 lb ground sausage (mild or spicy)
- 1 lb Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 1 can (10 oz) Rotel tomatoes with green chilies (undrained)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Optional: 1/4 cup milk (for thinner consistency)
- Fresh cilantro or jalapeño slices for garnish
Instructions
- In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease.
- Reduce heat to low and add Velveeta cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese starts to melt.
- Add Rotel tomatoes, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth and fully melted.
- For a thinner dip, stir in a splash of milk until desired consistency is reached.
- Transfer to a serving bowl or slow cooker on warm. Garnish with cilantro or jalapeños and serve hot with chips.
Notes
- Use spicy sausage for an extra kick.
- Substitute Velveeta with cream cheese and shredded cheddar for variation.
- Keep the dip warm in a slow cooker to maintain smooth texture.
- Stir frequently to prevent cheese from sticking or burning.
- Add diced onions or bell peppers for extra flavour and crunch.
