Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound bulk pork sausage
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), undrained
- 1 (16 ounce) package processed cheese (Velveeta style), cubed
- 1/4 cup milk (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
- Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease completely.
- Transfer the cooked sausage to a small slow cooker (2-quart size works well).
- Add the condensed cream of mushroom soup, the undrained diced tomatoes and green chilies, and the cubed processed cheese to the slow cooker.
- Stir the ingredients together gently.
- Cook on LOW for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the dip is smooth.
- If the dip seems too thick after melting, stir in the milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Keep the dip warm on the WARM setting until serving. Serve with tortilla chips or crackers.
Notes
- For a spicier dip, use the hot variety of diced tomatoes and green chilies.
- You can substitute cream of celery soup for cream of mushroom soup if you prefer a different base flavor.
- If you do not have a slow cooker, you can melt the ingredients together in a large saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
