Ingredients
  

Cheese Dip Base
  • 1 pound ground sausage mild or spicy
  • 16 ounces Velveeta cheese cubed
  • 1 can Rotel tomatoes drained slightly
  • 1 2 cup milk for smoother texture
Serving Options
  • 1 bag tortilla chips for dipping
  • 1 cup jalapenos optional topping

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Skillet
  • Slow Cooker
  • Spatula
  • Serving Tray
  • Freezer

Method
 

  1. Cook sausage in a skillet until browned completely while breaking meat into small crumbles evenly.
  2. Reduce heat and stir cubed Velveeta cheese into skillet until mostly melted and creamy.
  3. Add Rotel tomatoes and milk while stirring slowly to create smooth, rich dip consistency.
  4. Continue heating gently until mixture looks silky without separating or becoming overly thick during cooking.
  5. Serve warm with tortilla chips and optional jalapenos for extra flavor and crunchy texture.

Notes

Use less milk for thicker dip or add extra milk for smoother texture. Freeze leftovers in sealed containers for shorter storage periods. Stir gently during reheating to maintain creamy consistency. Add taco seasoning, black beans, or jalapenos for flavor customization. Refrigerate leftovers up to four days.
