Cheese Dip For A Crowd

This cheese dip makes enough for 24 servings. If you want to reduce the number of servings, use 16 ounces of Velveeta cheese instead of 32 ounces. Everything else in the recipe stays the same so it’s an easy alteration for the Crockpot Rotel Dip.

Ingredients in Crockpot Sausage Rotel Dip

• Velveeta cheese (any processed cheese will work)
• Cream cheese
• Original Ro*Tel with green chilies – the Orginial adds heat to the dip. Alternatively, you can use the “mild” version for less of a spicy flavor.
• Mild Italian Sausage (or Hot Sausage if you want your dip spicier)
• Diced jalapenos – start with 1/2 cup and add more to taste (these can be omitted if you don’t want your cheese dip to have any spiciness. I prefer jarred jalapenos with juice for extra flavor.
