Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Chorizo sausage
- 16 ounces Velveeta cheese
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 10 ounces Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 cup Canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1 Fresh jalapeño (finely chopped, seeds removed for less heat)
- 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup Half-and-half
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice
- 1 bag Tortilla chips (for serving)
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chorizo sausage, breaking it up into crumbles, until browned and cooked through (about 7-8 minutes). Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Cut the Velveeta cheese into 1-inch cubes for faster melting.
In the crock pot, combine the cubed Velveeta cheese, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes with green chilies (including their liquid), rinsed and drained black beans, chopped jalapeño, minced garlic, and half-and-half.
Stir in the cooked chorizo sausage until evenly distributed.
Set the crock pot to low and cook for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to ensure the cheeses melt evenly and the mixture does not burn on the edges.
Once the mixture is smooth and creamy, stir in the chopped fresh cilantro and lime juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Keep the dip warm in the crock pot on the 'keep warm' setting, and serve with tortilla chips on the side.
