Notes
- Sausage options — Use regular, spicy, or Italian sausage. Ground beef or turkey also work well. Drain the grease for a less oily dip.
- Velveeta substitutes — No Velveeta? Use 8 oz cream cheese + 8 oz shredded cheddar or Colby Jack. Melt low and slow.
- Spice level — Choose mild, original, or hot Rotel. Add diced jalapeños or green chiles for extra heat.
- Slow cooker tip — After melting, keep warm on low or warm — perfect for parties.
- Make ahead — Refrigerate up to 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of milk.
- Too thick? — Stir in a splash of milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
