Calories: 208kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork sausage I like to use Tennessee Pride brand, but use your favorite
- 10 oz can rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles UNdrained
- 16 oz package velveeta cheese cut into 1/2" cubes
- 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Brown sausage and cook vegetables
- Heat a large skillet over MED heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. About halfway through the sausage cooking, add onion and garlic and stir together.
- Continue cooking, until sausage is cooked through and the onion is translucent. Drain well, then return to the skillet.
Assemble
- To the skillet with the sausage, onion, and garlic, add the undrained rotel, cubed velveeta cheese, and black pepper.
Cook
- Turn the heat down to LOW and continue to cook, stirring often, until the cheese is melted, and everything is well combined.
Serve
- Serve hot, with some chips or vegetables as dippers. Feel free to garnish with some diced green onions or fresh cilantro if you'd like.
Notes
- I estimate this recipe will serve approximately 12 people, but the exact serving size and amount will be up to you.
Slow Cooker Directions:
- To make this in the slow cooker you'll still need to brown and cook the sausage, onion, and garlic.
- Drain it after it's cooked, then add to the insert of a slow cooker.
- Top with black pepper, rotel, and velveeta.
- Cover and cook on LOW an hour or two (stirring occasionally), or until the cheese is melted and everything is combined.
