4 tsp butter
Quart of half and half
2-4 Tbsp. of corn starch
1.5 lb grated extra sharp cheddar cheese (Tillamook)

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.

Tips:

  • Use freshly grated cheese for the best flavor and texture.

  • Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the top of the dip before serving for a creamy, tangy flavor.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite dippers, such as tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or crackers.
