Notes
Variations & Tips for Rotel Dip
- Make it spicy by adding Chorizo in place of sausage and Jalapenos to the mix.
- Can swap out sausage for ground beef but be sure to drain the excess grease.
- Add your favorite spices and seasonings for more flavor.
- Make it creamy by adding a block of cream cheese in place of Velveeta cheese.
- Do not drain the Rotel tomatoes! You want to keep the juice in there to thin out the dip a little bit.
- Don't have Rotel on hand? Use a can of diced tomatoes and a small can of chiles instead.
- Too thick? Try adding a few splashes of milk to help thin it out.
Time Saving Tips
- Cook the sausage the night before. Allow to cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge to use the next day.
- If you don't have much time to wait for it to cook in a slow cooker, use a skillet instead.
- Make the dip the night before! Just allow to cool, store in an airtight container in the fridge and heat on the stove top the next day.
