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, cook the hot pork sausage, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula as it cooks. Continue until fully browned, then drain excess grease.
- Combine Ingredients (Stovetop): Return the skillet with browned sausage to medium heat. Add the cubed Velveeta cheese and the can of Rotel (including liquid). Stir occasionally until the cheese is completely melted and the dip is smooth.
- Slow Cooker Method: After browning and draining the sausage, transfer it to the slow cooker. Add the Velveeta cubes and Rotel with liquid, then stir to combine. Cook on low for 2 hours or until cheese is fully melted, stirring occasionally. Keep warm on the slow cooker’s warm setting when serving.
- Microwave Method: After browning and draining the sausage, place it in a medium microwave-safe bowl along with Velveeta cubes and Rotel (with liquid). Microwave on full power for 3 minutes, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the cheese is fully melted and dip is smooth.
Notes
- Storage: Let leftover dip cool completely, transfer to an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days.
- Reheat the dip gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to maintain texture.
- Substitutions: Use mild sausage if preferred for less spice or a different processed cheese in place of Velveeta.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
