KRISTA'S QUESO

Steps:

• Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until completely browned; drain.
• Combine the cooked sausage, cheese, mushrooms, and diced tomatoes with green chile peppers in a slow cooker. Set slow cooker to Low. Cook until the cheese melts completely, stirring occasionally, 30 to 40 minutes.

QUESO

Steps:

• Add the processed cheese, Monterey Jack, Cheddar and canned tomatoes (along with the juice) to a medium saucepan or 10-inch cast-iron skillet (see Cook's Note) and turn the heat to medium. Cook, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until all the cheese has melted and the queso is smooth, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
• To make the queso spicy, use hot diced tomatoes and green chiles, such as RoTel Hot, instead of the Original.
• Processed block cheese is crucial due to its meltability and what it adds to the queso's texture. Do not try to substitute other cheeses.
