Note
For a smoother consistency, you can melt the cheese in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, before combining with the sausage and tomatoes.
To reheat leftovers, warm gently in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk if the dip has thickened too much.
Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For added spice, include a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper when mixing in the tomatoes and chilies.
