Hot Sausage-Beef Queso Dip

This is a tried-and-true recipe that never disappoints. It’s a hearty mash-up of sausage, ground beef, juicy tomatoes, and gooey cheese, all served piping hot. Whether you scoop it up with tortilla chips, corn-chip scoops, toasted bread, or even veggies, it hits the spot. It’s the kind of recipe that becomes a game-day legend and a go-to favorite at holidays, and any gathering worth celebrating.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground sausage mild can use hot if you desire
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 32 oz Velvetta cheese
  • 2 8 oz sharp cheddar
  • 2 10 oz cans Rotel tomatoes original can use mild or hot to adjust heat level

Instructions

  • Combine ground beef and ground sausage in a frying pan and brown, breaking into small pieces as it cooks. Once fully cooked, drain and set aside.
  • Next, cube the Velvetta cheese and the sharp cheese.
  • Place all ingredients into a 4-5 quart Crockpot or 4-5 quart chafing dish. Spray with Pam for easier cleanup. Keep the heat low, and allow all cheese to melt. and stirring often to blend. Check often throughout the melting stage. I usually set the Crockpot to high to start the melting process, then turn it low.
  • Serve once all cheeses have melted. Serve with corn chip scoops, tortilla chips, toasted bread, veggies or crackers.

Notes

I always keep a can of chicken broth on hand to thin the cheese dip if it thickens over time.
