Ingredient memo
Sausage: Use mild or spicy Italian sausage for a rich, savory flavor. Drain well to avoid making the dip oily. Substitute ground beef, chicken, or turkey, but add a little more mustard and Worcestershire to balance the flavor. Cheese: This dip combines processed cheese, cream cheese, and sharp cheddar for a rich, creamy, and perfectly melting dip. Dice the soft cheese before adding it so it melts evenly without much stirring, and wait until you turn off the heat to mix in the sharp cheddar at the end. Variations: Give this sausage cheese dip a spicy, tangy twist by adding diced jalapeños, green chiles, a pinch of cayenne pepper, or a spoonful of salsa. Mix together drained, diced tomatoes and green chiles to make sausage queso dip twists.
