- Ready In:
- 1hr 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1 lb Velveeta pepper jack cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (regular Velveeta may be used to tone down the spiciness)
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can ro*tel tomatoes and green chilies (mild or spicy)
- 1⁄4 lb browned chorizo sausage
- 1 cup diced broccoli, heated through but still crisp and green
- 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 cup salsa, of desired heat
- 1 -2 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)
- 1 dash garlic powder
- 1 sourdough loaf, hollowed out
directions
- Add choice of Velveeta to your slow cooker, place on low heat. Once it starts to melt, add the minimum of remaining ingredients. Allow at least 30 minutes for the flavors to mingle together before adding extras to suit your own tastes.
- Prepare bread bowl shortly before serving--hollow out all but 1/2" of the interior bread (save the interior, cut the bread into cubes and serve WITH the dip). Fill bread bowl with dip, serve immediately with bread cubes, cut veggies, tortilla chips, pretzels, whatever you wish.
- Note: My mother prepares this with spinach rather than broccoli, and my brother doesn't use either. It's all about your preferences.
- Optional: You can substitute 1 (16 oz) can chili without beans *or* 1/4 lb browned ground beef to replace the chorizo.

I made this this weekend as part of a Halloween party for my son's baseball team, it was a total hit! I have made it before with just the meat and tomatoes, no broccoli, but used the broccoli and it disappeared even faster than it usually does. I don't know why I'm surprised, broccoli and cheese sauces go together like pb & j! I used half chorizo, half ground beef, and I think next time I will try it with canned chili, but the presentation of the bread bowl filled with this was definitely a hit. Thanks!
