"Guys don't wanna snack on raw veggies and hummus. They want fried chips dipped in hot meat and cheese! Serve the guys this dip with corn tortilla chips, potato chips or crackers, but for heaven's sake, NOT raw veggies!"

This was so awesome. The only thing different I did was add New Mexico green chiles to the sausage, and green onions mixture. After it was heated through on the stove I baked it in the oven at 400 for about 10 minutes. IT was to die for!!!!

This was very good. It was more like a 4-1/2 than 5 for me because the second the heat was off it started to thicken up a lot. It had very good flavor. I doubled it and used 1 can of tomatoes and 1 of rotel. I also used fresh garlic which was awesome. Fun new recipe, thanks.

AS un-manly as veggies might be, I put this into large mushroom caps that have been buttered and broiled for a couple of minutes. Add the extra cheese on top, then broil slightly more. Manly AND elegant!

Thanks for the great receipe. I modified the receipe slightly...I used Rotel tomatoes instead of the regular diced tomatoes and I also used cajun seasoning instead of the cumin and crushed red pepper flakes which gave it a kick. Very simple to make but very tasty.

The men (and women) in my house loved this dip. It was super simple to make and went extremely well with tortilla chips. We also ate it with wheat thins and triscuts. This is most definately a keeper in our house. Thanks, Parsley.

Try with Half Cheddar/ Half Havarti, Swiss or Pepper jack for a spicy alternative.
