Ingredients
  

For the Dip
  • 1 pound Ground Italian Sausage Substitute with turkey sausage for a leaner option.
  • 1 pound Velveeta Cheese Substitute with a similar processed cheese.
  • 1 cup Mild Cheddar Cheese Sharp cheddar can be used for a stronger taste.
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack Cheese Can be replaced with pepper jack for spiciness.
  • 10 ounces Rotel Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies Use fire-roasted tomatoes for a smoky flavor.
  • 1 packet Taco Seasoning Make a homemade blend for less sodium.
  • 2 stalks Green Onion Substitute with chopped chives if unavailable.
  • 2 cloves Garlic (Minced) Freshly minced garlic is preferred.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the ground Italian sausage. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  2. In a 6-quart slow cooker, combine the cooked sausage with all remaining ingredients: cheeses, Rotel, taco seasoning, green onions, minced garlic, and milk. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 2 hours or high for 1 hour. Stir every 30 minutes until melted and creamy.
  4. Once the dip reaches desired consistency, serve warm with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables.
