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
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. Drain the excess grease thoroughly.
- Melt Cheese and Combine Ingredients (Stovetop): Return the skillet with the browned sausage to medium heat. Add the cubed Velveeta cheese and the entire can of Rotel, including the liquid. Stir occasionally with a cooking spoon until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Alternative Slow Cooker Method: After browning and draining the sausage, add it along with cubed Velveeta and Rotel (with liquid) into a slow cooker. Stir to combine. Cook on low heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally until the cheese has fully melted. Keep warm when serving.
- Alternative Microwave Method: After browning and draining the sausage, transfer sausage, Velveeta cubes, and Rotel (with liquid) to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on full power for 3 minutes. Stir, then continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until cheese is fully melted and smooth.
Notes
- Storage: Cool leftover dip, transfer to an airtight container, and refrigerate. Use within 3-4 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to maintain creamy texture.
- Use hot pork sausage for a spicy kick, or substitute with mild sausage if preferred.
- For a thicker dip, reduce the liquid from the Rotel before adding.
- This dip pairs well with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks.
