12 Treats of Christmas - Day 2 - White Rotel Dip

Shane is no lover of Velveeta. Aside from the fact that it is an extremely processed "food", he just doesn't like the flavor or texture. Instead, we make our Rotel Dip with cream cheese.

White Rotel Dip

1 8-ounce bar of cream cheese (or equivalent homemade cream, yogurt or kefir cheese)
1 can Rotel or similar diced tomatoes with chiles, as hot or mild as you like (or home canned)
1/2 pound pork breakfast sausage, crumbled, cooked and drained
diced tomatoes for garnish

In medium saucepan over low to medium heat, combine cheese, Rotel and sausage.  Heat and stir until mixture is smooth.

Spoon into serving dish; garnish with diced tomatoes if desired.

Makes about 2 cups.
