Meats
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground sausage (your favorite variety)
Cheeses and Dairy
- 16 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
Other Ingredients
- 10 ounce can Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies)
- Brown the meats: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and ground sausage until no longer pink. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked meats and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Combine and cook in slow cooker: Spray a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Add the cooked ground beef and sausage, cubed Velveeta cheese, Rotel tomatoes, and cubed cream cheese into the slow cooker. Stir everything together to combine well.
- Melt and serve: Cook on high heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the Velveeta and cream cheese have completely melted into a smooth, creamy dip. Serve warm with your favorite tortilla chips for dipping.
Notes
- Use your preferred sausage variety, such as spicy Italian or breakfast sausage, to customize the flavor.
- For a spicier dip, opt for hot Rotel or add diced jalapeños.
- Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent the cheese mixture from burning on the sides.
- This dip can also be kept warm on low in the slow cooker for game day events lasting several hours.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container and reheated gently on the stove or in the microwave.
