Ingredients
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, with liquid
Instructions
- Brown the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the hot pork sausage, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess grease to keep the dip from becoming too oily.
- Add Cheese and Tomatoes: Return the skillet to the heat, then add the cubed Velveeta cheese and the entire can of Rotel, including the liquid. Stir occasionally to combine the ingredients as the cheese begins to melt.
- Melt the Cheese: Continue stirring occasionally until the Velveeta cheese is completely melted and the dip is smooth and creamy. Remove from heat and serve immediately with chips or crackers.
Notes
- Storage: Allow any leftover dip to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Refrigerate leftovers and consume within 3 to 4 days.
- Reheating: Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to maintain a smooth texture.
- Variations: Use mild or spicy sausage depending on heat preference. You can also substitute Velveeta with processed cheese alternatives if desired.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve alongside tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced vegetables for dipping.
