Ingredients

- 1 lb processed melting cheese such as Velveeta, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., RoTel), undrained
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken sausage, breaking it into small pieces. Cook for 7–10 minutes until browned, then drain excess grease.
- Lightly spray a 2–4 quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
- Layer the cubed cheese in the slow cooker, then add the cooked sausage on top. Pour the undrained tomatoes with chilies over the mixture.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 1.5–2 hours or HIGH for 1 hour. Stir gently every 30 minutes to ensure even melting.
- Once the dip is bubbly and thick, stir thoroughly and switch to the WARM setting.
- Serve with tortilla chips, corn chips, or toasted baguette slices.
