Ingredients
- 1 lb 450g ground sausage
- 1 small onion

- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 10 oz can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 lb 450g Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 1 cup 240ml shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon or spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

- Reduce the heat to low and add the diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained) to the skillet. Stir to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Add the cubed Velveeta cheese and shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Season the queso dip with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, adjusting the seasonings to taste.
- Once the dip is heated through and well combined, transfer it to a serving dish or bowl.
- Optionally, garnish the sausage queso dip with chopped fresh cilantro and diced tomatoes before serving.
- Serve the dip warm with tortilla chips, crusty bread, or your favorite dippers.
- Enjoy your delicious Sausage Queso Dip!
Notes
- Customizing Spice Level - Add hot sauce or red pepper flakes for extra heat. Adjust the amount according to personal preference.
- Adjusting Consistency - If dip becomes too thick, add a splash of milk or chicken broth. Thin out until desired consistency is reached.
