Make this rich, creamy sausage and cheese dip using a slow cooker or stovetop. It is a simple, crowd-pleasing appetizer perfect for parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 (12 ounce) package Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup milk (optional, for thinning)

Instructions

  1. If using the stovetop, cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. If using the slow cooker, place the cooked and drained sausage into the slow cooker insert.
  3. Add the cream of mushroom soup, Rotel tomatoes (with liquid), cubed cream cheese, and cubed Velveeta cheese to the skillet or slow cooker.
  4. If using the stovetop, cook over low heat, stirring constantly until all cheeses are melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
  5. If using the slow cooker, stir the ingredients together. Cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes until completely smooth and heated through.
  6. If the dip is too thick, stir in milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  7. Transfer the hearty queso dip to a serving bowl if needed, and serve warm with tortilla chips or crackers.

Notes

  • You can prepare this make-ahead dip by assembling all ingredients (except milk) in the slow cooker the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Add the liquid and cook in the morning.
  • For a spicier flavor, use hot Rotel or add a dash of hot sauce during cooking.
  • This recipe works well as a base for a tailgating snack; keep it warm in the slow cooker on the ‘Keep Warm’ setting.
