Dip Ingredients

• ground chorizo or hot sausage – This recipe requires the spicy sausage to be cooked and drained of excess grease. Grocery stores are kind of crazy again, and I couldn’t find chorizo, so I used hot sausage, made by Bob Evans, which comes in the roll.
• diced tomatoes with chilies
• package cream cheese, cubed
• Velveeta Queso Blanco cheese, cubed
• Serve with homemade tortilla chips or corn chips.

How to make Chorizo Queso Dip

1. Add cooked and drained ground sausage, can of tomatoes, chunks of cream cheese, and Velveeta Queso Blanco cheese to a slow cooker and mix well.
2. Cover slow cooker with a lid and turn heat on high.
3. Stir dip with a wooden spoon after 30 minutes and again 30 minutes later. This ensures it all melts evenly and without burning.
4. Chorizo dip should be ready in 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Stir well and serve with tortilla chips.

Chorizo Queso Recipe Tips

Prefer a meat-free party appetizer? Rinse off canned black beans and add to dip over sausage (or in addition to!). It is important to rinse the beans to prevent the cheese from turning an unsavory brown. You can see a full (but varying) version of this in our Velveeta Cheeseburger Dip recipe that includes beans.

This recipe has no additional seasonings in the crock pot, but seasoning the meat goes a long way in ultimate flavor. Some suggestions are to season with salt, black pepper, and minced garlic while cooking sausage.

Onion is totally optional, but dice and sauté sweet onion, white onion, or yellow onion until slightly translucent and then dump into slow cooker.
