Notes

  • Sausage Options – Use regular, spicy, or Italian sausage. Ground beef or turkey also work well.
  • Velveeta Substitutes – If you don’t have Velveeta, try cream cheese + shredded cheddar or Colby Jack.
  • Spice Level – Choose mild, original, or hot Rotel depending on preference. Add diced jalapeños for extra heat.
  • Slow Cooker Tip – After melting, keep dip warm in the slow cooker on low or warm - perfect for parties and game day.
  • Thinner Dip Fix – If dip is too thick, stir in a splash of milk or cream until it reaches your desired consistency.
