Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy) Use based on preference
  • 16 oz Velveeta cheese Classic choice for creamy texture
  • 10 oz can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies The star of the show
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup For added richness; substitute with a healthier option if desired
  • 1 tsp garlic powder Or fresh minced garlic for depth
  • 1 tsp onion powder Adds a subtle sweetness

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Velveeta cheese, Rotel tomatoes, and cream of mushroom soup. Cut the cheese into smaller cubes to help it melt more evenly.
  3. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the mixture is creamy.
  4. Sprinkle in the garlic powder and onion powder. Mix well to infuse the flavors.
  5. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Optional: Top with fresh cilantro for garnish.

Notes

For a healthier option, use turkey sausage or chicken sausage. Adding a dash of hot sauce can enhance heat. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
