How to Make Sausage Cheese Dip in a Crock Pot
Cris here.
This dip has so many memories attached to it for our family. I am pretty sure I made it for just about every pitch-in (that is what us Hoosier’s call a party where you bring food) we had in our twenties. It was so easy to throw together and the crock pot always came back empty– a true test of any recipe!
Velveeta, sausage and salsa make up this uber-easy party favorite. The cheese should get nice and melty after a few stirs over 2-3 hours. Once the dish is nice and melted, switch the slow cooker to warm for a bit but still keep an eye on it as a lot of slow cookers will still keep the crock too hot and the cheese will begin to burn on the edges. When at parties or pitch-ins, I usually get it nice and hot and then shut it off for a while and then come back and turn it to warm for a while (stirring occasionally) and shut it off again.
If you don’t have time to heat it up in the crock before the party starts, you can always melt the cheese with the salsa in the microwave a few minutes and a time, stirring until smooth and then add the sausage at the end. Stir and pop in the crock to keep warm and no one will ever know the difference.

I lost my recipe for this dip. Thanks for having it again. Will enjoy it again. It’s my favorite for Cowboy games.
Hi Melba!
So glad the site came in handy. Enjoy!
Is it Italian sausage or polish sausage?
Hi Sharen! We just use mild breakfast sausage… the log that you chop up into crumbles as you cook it up. Enjoy!
I use hamburger and mild pace sauce we love it. I also cut cheese into cubesto melt better. If I’m in a hurry I microwave half cheese n sauce than mix together in crock pot.
Can you believe I have never tried it with hamburger? We need to try that!
