Ingredients

Scale

1 pound ground sausage (spicy or mild, your choice!)
1 block (16 oz) Velveeta cheese (cubed)
1 can (10 oz) Rotel tomatoes with green chilies (undrained, trust me, this adds the magic!)
1/2 cup sour cream (optional, but it adds a nice creaminess)
Optional toppings: chopped green onions, jalapeños, or cilantro (because who doesn’t love a little extra flair?)

Instructions

Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, toss in that ground sausage. Cook it until it’s beautifully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease while trying not to have a “what did I just do?” moment when staring at the grease—don’t worry, it happens to all of us!
Melt the Cheese: Once your sausage is perfectly cooked, reduce the heat to low. Toss in those cubes of Velveeta cheese. Stir it around like you mean it! Keep stirring until the cheese is melted and you have a creamy, dreamy mixture that looks just like paradise.
Add the Rotel: Time to bring some excitement! Stir in the Rotel tomatoes with their liquid, mixing it all until it’s well combined. Just watch out; things might get a bit saucy (pun intended)! Let it heat through for a couple of minutes.
Sour Cream Magic: If you’re going for that extra creamy touch, now’s the time to add in the sour cream. Give it a good stir again to assure everything is cohesive and happy.
Top It Off: Serve this beauty warm and add a sprinkle of your optional toppings like green onions, jalapeños, or cilantro. Just a dash of green adds such a lovely touch, doesn’t it?

Notes

Flavor Variations: If you’re itching to switch things up, try adding some shredded cheddar cheese or even a bit of cream cheese for richness!
Don’t Stress: If your dip looks a little bit funny when you’re cooking, don’t panic. It’s all part of the delicious magic that’s about to happen.
