Note
For a milder flavor, use regular pork sausage or turkey sausage instead of spicy pork sausage.
Ensure the American cheese is cut into small, uniform cubes to help it melt evenly and prevent clumping.
If the dip is too thick after heating, stir in a splash of milk or extra salsa to reach your desired consistency.
Best served immediately while hot and creamy. If reheating, do so in short 30-second intervals, stirring well between each to maintain smoothness.
Storage: Leftover dip should be cooled completely and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave, adding a little liquid if necessary.
