Sausage & Cheese Dip

Been making this dip for a good 25-30 years.  Remember making it up in my mothers kitchen.  The family enjoyed & they asked for me to make it for a get together.  From that day on, every time I would go somewhere, I was asked...you making that dip????  Of course I see variations of it, even on TV, but this is how I make it.


1 roll of sausage, pork.  Can be Italian, breakfast, pork or pork with sage
1 block of velvetta cheese
1-2 jars of salsa
hot peppers if you dare
something to dip with.  tortilla chips, a round loaf of white bread cut up, even put over noodles for a meal

Ground the sausage.  Drain very well.  While the sausage is browning cut up the cheese.  Very important that this is velvetta.  All other block cheeses don't taste the same. I generally cut up the cheese into blocks for easier melting.  When sausage is browned & drained add the cheese.  Keep stirring until melted over a medium heat.  Add the salsa.  This is a dip, so depending on how thin or thick you want it, is how much salsa to add.  Add hot peppers or jalapenos if you like.  I don't generally add the extra kick if kids are having any.

Enjoy!!!!  This really is a huge hit
