This is the recipe I am always asked to bring to functions - from New Years parties to church potlucks. Sausage adds the difference and creates a WOW! factor. A big hit with the men.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb hot country breakfast sausage (pork)
2 lb velveeta light cheese food, cut in cubes
2 can(s) ro_tel diced tomatoes and green chilies
2 Tbsp chopped pickled jalapeno peppers (or more)

Steps:

  • 1. Crumble and brown the sausage in a skillet over medium high heat until browned and a bit crispy. Drain off fat and set aside.
  • 2. Place Velveeta cheese cubes and Ro-Tel in a large microwaveable bowl. Heat on high about 3-5 minutes, stirring after each minute, until cheese is completely melted and Ro-Tel is well blended and smooth.
  • 3. Stir in Jalapeno peppers and the drained sausage, combining well. Serve warm, or in a smaller crock pot with a very low or warm setting. Serve with tortilla chips, or baked pita triangles.
  • 4. To make baked pita triangles, cut a package of pita bread into fourths using a pizza cutter. Spread out on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt if desired. Bake at 350 degrees about 10-12 minutes, until crisp but not too brown. Cool on rack; package in an air-tight container.
