Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheesy Rotel Sausage Dip
  1. In a slow cooker, combine 1 pound of ground beef and 1 pound of savory sausage. Set the temperature to HIGH and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meats are fully browned.
  2. Once the meats are browned, add 1 pound of cubed processed cheese and 1 can of diced tomatoes with green chiles. Mix thoroughly to combine the ingredients.
  3. Stir in a pinch of crushed red pepper according to your taste preference, ensuring that it gets evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Set the slow cooker to LOW and cook for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally until the cheese melts completely into a velvety dip.
  5. Switch the slow cooker to the WARM setting until you're ready to serve. Stir occasionally to maintain that silky smooth texture.
  6. Using tortilla scoops, serve your delicious Rotel Sausage Dip right from the slow cooker.
