Ingredients Needed

  • Breakfast Sausage– I use Jimmy Dean. If you want the dip spicy, use “Hot” sausage.
  • Onion– use white, yellow, or sweet.
  • Jalapenos– I usually use 2 jalapenos. Use 1 for less heat.
  • Garlic Powder– can use 2 minced garlic cloves instead.
  • Chili Powder and Cumin– add chili flavor to the dip.
  • Can of Chili– Use chili with beans or without beans. I use canned Hormel chili.
  • Velvetta– adds a lot of creamy cheese flavor.
  • Colby Jack Cheese– cheddar cheese or shredded mexican cheese blend can be substituted.
  • Rotel Tomatoes– use “Hot” Rotel tomatoes for extra heat. Do not drain the tomatoes.

How To Serve Chili Cheese Dip

Tastes great with either tortilla chips or Frito Scoops. If desired, add a little color and extra flavor by adding chopped green onions on top.

Make It A Little Spicy Or Super Spicy

To make this dip just a little spicy, use regular breakfast sausage, only 1 jalapeno, and mild Rotel tomatoes. For extra spicy, use “Hot” breakfast sausage, 2 to 3 jalapenos, and “Spicy” Rotel tomatoes.

Can Be Made In A Slow Cooker

To make this easy dip in a slow cooker, brown the sausage and add all ingredients to a slow cooker. Cook on LOW for a few hours, stirring halfway through. You can turn the slow cooker to WARM and serve it right out of the slow cooker.

How To Store

Leftover dip will keep in an airtight container for 4 days. Reheat in microwave. Leftovers are great over a baked potato or oven-baked fries.
