Notes
When melting the Velveeta, use low heat and stir often to prevent scorching or burning.
If the queso seems too thick, you can add a small amount of liquid to thin it out. Options include milk, heavy cream, or even some of the juice from the Rotel can. Add it gradually and stir until you reach your desired consistency.
If you're serving the queso for a longer period, such as during a party or gathering, transfer it to a slow cooker or fondue pot on the warm setting to keep it at a desired temperature.
If making in a slow cooker, you can add all dip ingredients (cook the sausage fully first) into a slow cooker and cook on high for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Enjoy!
Storage: Store Rotel dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
