Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces Velveeta, cubed
  • 10 ounces Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained)
  • 1 pound turkey or chicken sausage (halal-certified, as pork is prohibited)

Instructions
 

  • Heat a skillet on medium. Brown the turkey or chicken sausage, breaking it into small pieces.
  • Add Rotel (with juice) and cubed Velveeta to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  • Reduce heat to low and stir frequently until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is creamy.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and serve hot with tortilla chips, veggies, or crackers.

Notes

Use a slow cooker on 'keep warm' for extended serving.
Omit the sausage for a cheese-and-vegetable dip, or add diced bell peppers or corn for extra flavor.
Make ahead: Reheat on the stove or in the microwave.
Check for halal certification on all packaged ingredients, including sausage and Velveeta alternatives, if requested.
