Substitutions
- All ground beef or all pork sausage can be used.
- Use petite, diced tomatoes with green chilis in place of the name brand Rotel.
- Use Mild, hot, fire rosted Rotel or Serrano Rotel in place of the original Rotel.
- For a dairy free option leave out the cream cheese and switch out the Velveeta for your favorite dairy free cheese. Wayfare cheddar cheese is my non-dairy cheese of choice for this recipe.

Store leftover Rotel dip in air tight containers in the refrigerator for up to a week. Rotel sausage cream cheese dip freezes well in freezer safe containers, Be sure to remove as much air as possible from the container to avoid freezer burn.

I will reheat the sausage queso in a microwave-safe dish in 30-second increments, stirring in between heating until warmed through. Another option is to warm it in a small saucepan on medium heat, stirring, until heated through.
