Spicy Crock Pot Queso (Cheese Dip)

A rich, spicy cheese dip that is a must for parties and get-togethers. It also works well as a sauce. You can make it as mild or as spicy as you like, depending upon the type of sausage and/or Rotel you use.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 8
• Yields: 1 bowl of queso

Ingredients

• 1  lb sausage (chorizo works well, too)
• 32  ounces Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes
• 2 (28 ounce) cans Rotel Tomatoes (for added spice use the "Extra Hot" flavor)

Directions

1. Crumble sausage and brown in skillet.
2. Place Velveeta and Rotel into a crock pot and heat on high.
3. Once sausage is browned, add it to the crock pot.
4. Continue heating on high, stirring occasionally, until cheese has melted.
5. Turn heat down to low, get out the tortilla chips and beer, and enjoy the ballgame.
6. This recipe works as a sauce as well.
7. If you are having a large get-together, I recommend doubling the recipe, it's usually the life of the snack buffet.
