1. Use hot sausage. 2. Add a block of shedded cheese of your choice. 3. Use rotel, drained. 4. Add chili powder or taco seasoning. 2 tablespoons. 5. Remember to thank me so you didn’t end up making a very boring dip.

Not a big fan of any tomatoes. Could you chop these up smaller and do you drain off the juice?

I make a version of this. Instead of can of tomatoes, I use 2 Rotel cans and add some sour cream. Also, I use hot sausage along with regular. Excellent!
