This sausage queso dip recipe is one of my absolute favorites for football parties, potlucks, basically, anywhere you need to feed a crowd. It’s easy to make and SOOOOOOOO good. I have to physically remove myself from the presence of this dip to keep myself from pigging out.
GAMEDAY SAUSAGE QUESO
FOOTBALL PARTY CROCKPOT RECIPE
One of the reasons the dip is so easy and so good is that it uses sausage in addition to ground beef. You don’t need to add any additional seasoning, since the flavor is packed right into the sausage. I used these Johnsonville sausage patties, but you can also use their packages of Italian sausage — both are tasty.
We use to live in Wisconsin, halfway between the Frozen Tundra and the Johnsonville headquarters, so the idea of suggesting that people eat sausage while they watch football isn’t crazy to me. That would be like suggesting that the next time you make a PB&J, you should try using peanut butter. It’s a given, people.
When I did my grocery run for this dip, I bought my favorite thin, crispy tortilla chips to go with it. That was a mistake. They were way too wussy for this hearty queso. You need a sturdy, well-engineered chip to carry the load of sausage, beef, and cheese. Just look at that deliciousness!
