IU Tailgate Con Queso

My own Recipe

2 lb. box of Velveeta

One can diced tomatoes

One small can green chilies, chopped

One pound pkg. Johnsonville Hot Italian Sausage

Cut the skin off of the sausage and brown it well in a frying pan.   Chop it to little bits with a spatula. When it's finished cooking (aprox 20 min. on medium), drain it onto paper towels and hold it aside.

Cube the Velveeta and cook it slowly in the microwave ( in a large microwavable container) a minute at a time until it is just melted into a very thick liquid.  Add in all the other ingredients and stir.  Re heat and enjoy on corn chips or even buns.
