Recipe of the Week!

All the tasty appetizers we had at the Survivor party last week inspired me to post this yummy dip recipe. Warning! It is not healthy. It one of those things that is bad for you, but it taste sooo goood that you let yourself eat it once or twice a year. Here you go:

Sausage, Cheese, and Chile Dip

3/4 lb. bulk pork sausage
1 8-oz. package cream cheese
1 7-oz. can Rotel
1/4 pound extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1.) In a large skillet, fry the sausage over moderate heat, breaking it up with a fork, till well cooked, then drain on paper towels.
2.) Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 1-1/2-quart casserole and set aside.
3.) In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage, cream cheese, and tomatoes and chiles and mix till well blended.
4.) Scrape mixture into the prepared casserole, sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top, and bake till bubbly and the cheese has melted completely, about 15 minutes. Serve hot with Fritos Scoops (or your favorite corn chip).

Yield: 6 to 8 servings
