INGREDIENTS:

1 pound spicy breakfast sausage browned and drained: Provides a robust, meaty flavor.

1 pound Velveeta cheese cut into cubes: Melts smoothly to create a creamy base.

1 cup sour cream: Adds tanginess and richness to the dip.

1/2 cup diced red onion: Adds sweetness and crunch.

1 jalapeño seeded and diced: Brings heat; adjust to taste.

1/2 cup salsa: Adds tomatoey flavor and additional spice.

1/2 cup milk: Ensures the dip is smooth and dippable.

1/2 teaspoon black pepper: Adds warmth and depth.

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder: Enhances the overall savory flavor.

DIRECTIONS:

Brown the spicy breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat, then drain any excess fat.

Add the browned sausage to a 3-quart or larger slow cooker, followed by the Velveeta cheese cubes.

Stir in the sour cream, diced red onion, diced jalapeño, salsa, milk, black pepper, and garlic powder.

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

Serve hot with corn chips, crusty bread, or veggie sticks. Enjoy!
