Recipe Tips
I have a couple of different crock pots but the one I use most frequently is the Ninja Cooking System. It’s rather pricey, though. I think this one from Hamilton Beach looks great.
Substitutions and Variations
Find a list of cheese substitutes here. While I prefer salsa there is another option you can use in its place. You could use a can of Rotel brand diced tomatoes and green chilies – this is always a popular combination with cheese melt.
A lot of people just like the salsa + cheese combination and totally omit the sausage. You could use sliced sausage instead (opt for a chicken sausage for a slightly healthier option).
Storage Recommendations
This is a fairly high fat content food, so it freezes easily. However, the taste and texture won’t be 100% the same after you freeze it. That being said, if you have extra and want to save it for later, go ahead and put it in the freezer.
If you know you’ll finish this dip in the next few days, store it in airtight container and toss it in the fridge. It will be good for at least 3 days. After that, it’s probably best to toss it.
