Ingredients

• 16 oz Velveeta cheese
• 1 can (10 oz) Canned Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (original or spicy)
• 1 lb Ground sausage (mild or spicy, as per preference)
• 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 small Onion, finely diced
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp Cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)
• 1 bag Tortilla chips (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare your ingredients by cutting the Velveeta cheese into 1-inch cubes, dicing the onion, and mincing the garlic.

Step 2

2. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the diced onion and cook for about 3-5 minutes until softened.

Step 3

3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4

4. Add the ground sausage to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Cook until the sausage is fully browned and no pink remains. Drain any excess grease and return the sausage mixture to the skillet.

Step 5

5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Rotel tomatoes (with their juice) and the Velveeta cheese cubes.

Step 6

6. Stir frequently until the cheese is completely melted and the dip reaches a smooth consistency, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

7. Transfer the dip to a serving dish or keep it warm in a slow cooker on the 'low' or 'warm' setting.

Step 8

8. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve with tortilla chips for dipping.
