Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pounds bulk chorizo sausage
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 package (16 ounces) mild Mexican pasteurized prepared cheese product with jalapeño peppers, cut into cubes
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) crushed fire-roasted tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 9 ounces tortilla chips

Steps

  • 1
    Cook sausage, onion and garlic in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until sausage is no longer pink; drain well.
  • 2
    Place chorizo mixture, cheese and tomatoes in 2 1/2- to 3 1/2-quart slow cooker.
  • 3
    Cover and cook on Low heat setting 3 to 4 hours, stirring halfway through cooking, until cheese is melted and mixture is hot.
  • 4
    Stir in cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping. Dip will hold on Low heat setting up to 1 1/2 hours; stir occasionally.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Make a south-of-the-border meal by serving this dip over baked potatoes. Or spoon it into tortillas, sprinkle with shredded lettuce and fold for an Mexican wrap.
  • tip 2
    Ground beef can be used in place of the chorizo sausage. Jazz it up by adding 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin and 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne) when cooking the beef, onion and garlic.
