Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound hot pork sausage roll
- 16 ounces Velveeta Original Cheese cubed
- 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies
Instructions
- Brown the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the pork sausage, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula as it cooks. Continue cooking until no pink remains and the sausage is fully cooked. Drain the excess grease thoroughly to reduce fat content in the dip.
- Add Cheese and Rotel: Return the skillet to medium heat and add the cubed Velveeta cheese along with the entire can of Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, including the liquid. Stir occasionally to combine the ingredients.
- Melt and Combine: Stir the mixture continuously with a cooking spoon until the Velveeta cheese is completely melted and the dip is smooth and creamy.
- Serve Warm: Remove from heat and serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- Storage: Allow leftover dip to cool to room temperature before transferring to an airtight container. Refrigerate and use within 3-4 days for best quality.
- Reheating: Reheat leftover dip gently on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave in short intervals, stirring occasionally to avoid burning or separating.
- Sausage Options: Use hot pork sausage for a spicy kick, or substitute with mild sausage if preferred.
- Additional Ingredients: For extra flavor, consider adding diced onions or jalapeños to the sausage while browning.
- Cooking Methods: This recipe can be adapted for slow cooker or microwave with slight adjustments in cooking time as detailed in the instructions.
