Chili Con Queso

Mmmmmmmm. This is a tried-and-true Texas housewife recipe. This is how much I make for potlucks and parties, so if you're not making this for a party you'll want to halve the recipe. Serve with tortilla chips.

2 pounds Velveeta
1 pound lean ground beef
1 pound pork breakfast sausage
1-2 cans Rotel diced tomatoes & green chilis (regular)

Cook the beef and the sausage in a pan and drain off the fat. Cut up the Velveeta and melt on low heat with the meat. Add Rotel tomatoes & chilis to taste. One can is probably plenty, but if you want it hotter you might need more.

Notes: Don't let the Velveeta brown. For serving, a 2-quart crockpot is the perfect size. Set it on "warm" - the low setting will probably get too hot.
