Ingredients
Scale
1 pound bulk ground sausage
1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
1 (8 ounce) block Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
Instructions
Cook the ground sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until fully browned. Drain off any excess grease.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the Rotel tomatoes (with their liquid), cubed Velveeta cheese, and softened cream cheese to the skillet with the sausage.
Stir constantly until all the cheeses are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. This is your quick queso dip.
Transfer the hot cheese dip to a slow cooker if you plan to serve it over a period of time, or serve immediately with tortilla chips or crackers.
Notes
For a slow cooker version, combine all ingredients in a small slow cooker and cook on LOW for 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally until smooth.
If you do not have Velveeta, you can substitute with 1 pound of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, but you may need to add a splash of milk to keep the texture smooth.
