Recipe Notes:
- Velveeta cheese is a well-known processed cheese. You could certainly use another processed cheese that melts well without clumping.
- You can keep this dip for longer by leaving it in the slow cooker, and stirring the dip mixture every 10-15 minutes.
- Be careful when reheating this dip. When cheese is overheated it can quickly become grainy in nature…so even when reheating, remember to add some liquid such as milk.
- To make a thinner dip, slowly add milk and stir until you achieve the desired consistency.
1. Add a packet of taco seasoning to this dip to give it a taco flavor. Other great flavor additions include garlic and onion powder.
2. If the dip isn’t hot enough for your liking, add some cayenne pepper for an added kick of heat. Sliced jalapeno is also a great way to increase the overall heat of this dip.
3. Likewise, if you don’t enjoy any kick of spicy heat to your food, use a regular can of crushed tomatoes in this dip recipe instead of Ro-tel tomatoes.
4. Make this dip in a skillet instead of a slow cooker.
Freshly sliced carrots, or cucumber;
Raw broccoli;
Celery sticks;
Pretzels;
Nachos (using the dip as a topping);
Tortilla chips;
Crusty bread; or
Salty crackers of your preference.
Absolutely! You can make this delicious dip with ground beef, ground chicken, or even ground turkey. Whether you’re crumbling the bulk sausage called for in this recipe or browning ground meat, make sure to drain the cooked meat otherwise this will affect the consistency of the dip.
Yes, it can! Once made either store the dip in an airtight container or add it to a dipping bowl, covered tightly with plastic wrap, to be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
Dairy ingredients tend to lose their original texture when frozen so while you could technically freeze this creamy sausage dip, there is a risk of the dip getting a grainy texture.
