Substitutions
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).
