Tired of the same old cheese dip? This one is packed full of flavor with spicy sausage, jalapenos, red onion, sour cream, salsa and creamy cheese.

I like my cheese dip not too thick; that's where the addition of milk comes in for my recipe. The milk makes this dip silky smooth and "dippable."

It seems at least once a month I am asked to bring something to a potluck. I am tired of making the same things and wanted something packed with flavor; this dip is what I needed.

Whether the get-together is a work meeting or a game-day party, this dip will be a hit. It travels easily; take it hot and ready to the party in the slow cooker. All this dip needs is a bowl of corn chips and it's ready to go. When I served this at a meeting this week, it all disappeared! It's that good. Enjoy!

Slow Cooker Spicy Sausage Cheese Dip

8

20

1.5 hours

1 hour, 50 minutes

1 pound spicy breakfast sausage, browned and drained

1 pound Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup diced red onion

1 jalapeno, seeded and diced

1/2 cup salsa (any kind will do)

1/2 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Add everything to a 3-quart or larger slow cooker.

Stir.

Cover and cook on high for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. It is done when the cheese is melted and the dip is hot.

Serve and enjoy!

Pro tip: Add more jalapenos to make this dip extra spicy! Or use a bell pepper if you don't like the heat so much.
