8 Servings

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Velveeta cheese cubed
  • 1 10-ounce can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chiles, undrained
  • 1 pound pork sausage

Instructions
 

Cook the Sausage:

  1. In a large skillet set over medium heat, cook the pork sausage until fully browned. Break the sausage into small crumbles as it cooks, and stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. If excessive grease accumulates, drain as needed.

Incorporate Cheese and Rotel:

  1. Reduce the heat to low. Add the cubed Velveeta cheese and the entire can of undrained Rotel tomatoes to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese has fully melted and the mixture becomes smooth and well blended.

Serve Immediately:

  1. Once heated through and creamy, remove from heat and serve the dip warm. It may be presented in a bowl, kept warm in a slow cooker on a low setting, or served directly from the pan. Accompany with tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or your preferred dipping items.

Notes

To prepare this dip gluten-free, ensure the following:
  • Velveeta: Most versions are naturally gluten-free, but always check the label for potential additives.
  • Rotel Tomatoes: These are generally gluten-free, but verify the can’s labeling.
  • Sausage: Select a certified gluten-free pork sausage, as some brands may include fillers or seasonings containing gluten.
By confirming these ingredients, the dip can be safely enjoyed by those following a gluten-free diet.
