Die Zubereitung

Schritt für Schritt

  1. 1

    Place the pork sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat.

    Etwa 1 Min.

  2. 2

    Cook the sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

    Etwa 6 Min.

    Küchentipp: Use the side of a wooden spoon or spatula to crumble the sausage into small pieces as it cooks.

  3. 3

    Carefully drain off any excess grease from the skillet and set the cooked sausage aside.

    Etwa 1 Min.

  4. 4

    Place the cubed cheese into a large microwave-safe bowl.

    Etwa 1 Min.

    Küchentipp: Cubing the cheese helps it melt more quickly and evenly.

  5. 5

    Pour the entire can of undrained diced tomatoes with green chilies over the cheese.

  6. 6

    Microwave on medium power (50%) for 2 minutes, then carefully remove the bowl and stir well.

    Etwa 2 Min.

    Küchentipp: Using medium power prevents the cheese from scorching or separating.

  7. 7

    Continue to microwave in 1-minute intervals, stirring after each, until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

    Etwa 3 Min.

  8. 8

    Add the cooked sausage to the melted cheese mixture and stir until fully combined.

    Etwa 1 Min.

  9. 9

    Serve the dip warm with tortilla chips or vegetable sticks.
