Some Like It Hot Dip

Thursday Night has become Snack Night at our house.  In warm weather it's Golf Night, in cool weather it's Trivia Night.  I've been using it as "Try Out New Recipes for Tailgating Night."  Mr. DD comes home from golf and needs a snack.  Then we vote on whether or not the new creation is worthy of a spot in our gameday rotation.  You'll be glad to know this dip made the cut.  It's spicy, and the addition of Italian Sausage makes it just a little bit different than your typical queso.  Give it a try for your next game night.  Or golf night.  Or snack night!

The newest addition to our Football Snack Line-Up!

Only 5 ingredients...

Brown sausage in a skillet with diced jalapeno.

In a slow cooker combine Velveeta, RoTel and salsa.

Add sausage mixture.  Cook on LOW
until cheese is melted.

Enjoy with tortilla chips!
