Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 745kcal
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground sausage - I used ground breakfast sausage
- 1 (32-ounce) block Velveeta cheese - cut into cubes
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- 1 (10-ounce) can Ro-Tel Tomatoes and Green Chilies - mild, medium, or spicy
- 1 lime - juiced
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the cooked sausage to a clean plate and drain any grease left behind in the skillet.
- Return the skillet to the stovetop set over medium heat. Add the Velveeta cheese, evaporated milk, butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin powder. Stir and cook for 6-8 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted.
- Return the sausage to the pan and stir in the Ro-Tel and fresh lime juice.
- Reduce heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for an additional 5 minutes.
- Best served immediately with fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro (optional), and tortilla chips.
Notes
- Ground beef, chicken, or turkey may be used in place of the ground breakfast sausage. Brown the meat well for the best flavor.
- Evaporated milk keeps the cheese sauce smooth and prevents clumping.
- Keep it warm in a mini slow cooker for parties and stir occasionally.
- Storage: Keep stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through. Stir every 30 seconds.
