Ingredients needed for Rotel dip

This easy dip recipe calls for just three simple ingredients.

  • Sausage – I like using hot, spicy breakfast pork sausage. You can substitute with original breakfast sausage, Italian sausage, or even ground beef.
  • Rotel Diced Tomatoes And Green Chilies – One can of Orginial Rotel tomatoes is needed. If you don’t like spice, replace with a can of petite diced tomatoes.
  • Velveeta Cheese– A smooth, mild cheese that is the key to this delicious dip. You can also try substituting with Velveeta Jalapeno or Velveeta Queso Blanco.

Tips for the best sausage dip

Sausage – Try and remove any excess grease from the sausage. This will help prevent the dip from being runny. You can also use half the amount of sausage if you prefer a more cheesy dip.

Cheese – Cut the Velveeta into cubes. This will help it melt faster and prevents burning.

Cooking method – This dip can also be prepared in the microwave or the slow cooker.

Additions: Try topping with diced green onion for a little color. You could also add in diced bell peppers to the mixture.

Want it even spicier? Stir in a few splashes of hot sauce.

Like more protein? Top with crumbled, cooked bacon.
