Almost every restaurant we go to, if they have it, we order the “queso” dip. My hubby loves it, and since I am constantly thinking of him I thought I would surprise him with it at home. I made it after church on Sunday, and they were like a hungry pack of wolves waiting for it. Luckily it was quick, easy and filling!
Here are the ingredients: 32 oz Velveeta Cheese Loaf, 1 10 oz can Rotel, (I have two here, but realized later it only called for 1) 1 pound Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage, 7 oz chopped green chilies, 1 whole yellow onion, 1 can pinto beans- I added these at the last minute to make it more hearty. 1 whole jalapeno or more to taste, 1/2 tsp. cumin, 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/4 tsp garlic salt.
Brown the sausage and onion. Drain excess grease.
Cut Velveeta into cubes. Add can of Rotel (juices also) and can of green pepper (juices also), simmer on low until everything has melted and combined.
Dice up the jalapeno, and add along with the cumin, chili powder, and garlic salt. Stir, serve with tortilla chips.
