A awesome dip that I used to eat at my Grandmother’s buffet style Christmas dinners, updated and made VEGAN!
While hers used Velveeta, hamburger and spicy sausage, mine uses all vegan foods, yet still maintains it’s creamy yummi-ness.
Make it for dinner or for a party! Your guests will never know it’s vegan!
See the Tips and Tricks section below the recipe for options!
Yield: 8 servings
Prep/Cooking Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
Suggested cooking tools: measuring cup, slow cooker, skillet
Ingredients:
14 oz. roll of sausage (Try Lightlife Foods Gimme Lean Sausage or 2 packages of Hilary’s Spicy Veggie Sausage for a soy-free version)
8 oz. cream cheese (Try GoVeggie Vegan Classic Plain Cream Cheese or Kite Hill)
7-8 oz. package shredded cheddar (Try Daiya Cheddar Style Shreds or Violife)
16 oz. salsa (Try Cadia Organic Mild Salsa)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or plant based milk of your choice)
1 bag tortilla chips
How-to:
Form the sausage into patties and cook according to package instructions. Allow to cool, then crumble into small pieces.
In a slow cooker, mix crumbled sausage, cream cheese, cheddar, salsa and milk
Cook for 2 hours on low
Stir and enjoy with tortilla chips
Tips and Tricks:
After mine finished cooking, I put my slow cooker on warm to keep it smooth and creamy. I also would leave it in the slow cooker on a warm setting during parties so everyone can enjoy it this way.
If you serve it for a party, you may want to double the recipe, as many will come back for seconds! Please note: If you double the recipe, it may need to cook a little longer.
Try adding a can of rinsed black beans to the mixture for an extra punch of protein and fiber.
The salsa you use can easily alter the taste and the spicy-ness level. Use your favorite brand or flavor!
While I made mine vegan, you can make yours vegetarian by using regular cream cheese, regular milk, and regular cheddar. You can also try using a pork sausage.
