Garbage Dip

I threw a birthday party for myself and one of the things I served was a hot cheesy dip. This dip is great with tortilla chips and terrific over pasta or on a baked potato. Plus, the broccoli makes it almost healthy!

Garbage Dip

2 lb box velveeta cheese, cubed
2 8 oz boxes cream cheese, cubed
2 cans Ro-tel tomatoes and peppers
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 lbs breakfast sausage, cooked and drained
24 oz bag chopped broccoli

Dump all of the above in a slow cooker to let it melt and blend together. Serve with chips.

I replace the breakfast sausage with ground venison but feel free to use the sausage or any other ground meat. Just brown it first and drain it well.

Here is a picture of it served over pasta. Yum!

This does get warmer after you've reheated it a couple times. I buy an extra 1lb block of velveeta and add half of after the first reheating and the next after the third.

Cheesy Corn Dip

I have been looking for a new hot dip appetizer for most of the year. While I love my Vidalia onion dip and my artichoke dip, it was time for something new to be added to the repertoire.

This particular dip is filled with corn flavor with just a hint of spice and and plenty of cheesy goodness.

• Cheesy Corn Dip
  
  
  Cooking spray or butter, to grease
  
  
  Two 11-ounce cans corn, drained

  3 cups grated Monterey Pepper Jack or Cheddar cheese (or a combination thereof)
  
  
  1 cup mayonnaise
  
  
  Corn chips, for dipping
  
  
  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 
  Grease a 9 X 13 X 2-inch casserole dish or a couple of aluminum pie pans.*
  In a medium bowl, mix the corn, Ro-tel, cheeses and mayonnaise until fully combined. Spread the mixture in the prepared casserole dish and bake, uncovered, until bubbly around the edges, 40 to 60 minutes. Serve the dip warm from the oven with chips.
