Tailgating Chili Con Queso
- 2 lb box processed American cheese (Velveeta), cubed
- 2 lbs. "hot" Jimmy Dean pork sausage
- 2 large onions, diced
- 4 firm, large dark green jalapeno peppers
- A small can of diced chili peppers
- 2 ripe tomatoes, diced
- 1 12 oz. jar of your favorite thick and chunky salsa - mild to hot
- Put cubed cheese in a crock pot at high setting. (If you don't have a crock pot, you can put the ingredients in a Dutch oven and put in the oven at 325 degrees F.) Crumble sausage in large frying pan and saute until just brown. Transfer to crock pot with slotted spoon. Saute diced onions in sausage grease. Cut jalapenos lengthwise and remove seeds. Finely dice and add to pan with onions. Add canned chili peppers to crock pot with diced tomatoes. Add sauteed ingredients to crock pot along with salsa and stir well. When cheese is melted, Cook at low setting (or 250 degrees), stirring every 20 minutes, for an hour. Taste for seasoning. To thicken consistency, cook with the lid off and stir occasionally. To thin, just add milk. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips as a dip or nacho topping.
