Football season is in full swing meaning that on Sundays, the food pyramid changes into the five main food groups of burgers, wings, pizza, chips, and of course the multi-layer, twenty-part dips. For all of you readers out there that, like me, enjoy food that comes in a man’s sized portion; here is a recipe for a dip to satisfy even the greatest of appetites.

Ingredients

Serves: 20

1 pound ground sausage

1 pound ground beef

1 medium onion, diced

2 pounds Velveeta(R) cheese

2 cups shredded Cheddar

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (this is optional; it will give you a serving or two more and cream it up a bit)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1 (8 ounce) jar picante sauce (mild or medium to preference)

1 (10 ounce) can Rotel(R) tomatoes with green chiles, drained

Preparation method

Prep: 15 mins |Cook: 15 mins

1.	Brown sausage, hamburger, and onion in a large pan and drain.

2.	In a large pot on the stove (med-high heat) mix together all the ingredients You can do this in the microwave if you’d like,but I prefer the stove or crockpot. You may want to cut the Velveeta into small pieces and add it gradually to speed up the melting process.

3.	Keep stirring until all the cheese is melted and then serve with your favorite Tortilla chips.
