Ingredients

1 pound mild Italian sausage
20 ounces Rotel diced tomatoes & chiles 2 cans, drained
15.25 ounces black beans 1 can, rinsed and drained
4 ounces green chiles 1 can, drained
4 ounces diced pimentos 1 jar, drained
12 ounces Velveeta cheese cubed
12 ounces evaporated milk 1 can
3 tablespoons chili powder
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it is fully browned and crumbled. Drain off any fat. 1 pound mild Italian sausage
Add the cooked sausage to the slow cooker. Then add the drained tomatoes, rinsed and drained black beans, chiles and pimentos. 20 ounces Rotel diced tomatoes & chiles, 15.25 ounces black beans, 4 ounces green chiles, 4 ounces diced pimentos
Then add the cubed Velveeta, milk and chili powder. Mix until it is combined. 12 ounces Velveeta cheese, 12 ounces evaporated milk, 3 tablespoons chili powder
Cover and cook on low for 2 hours.
Stir the mixture, then sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top and gently stir it on. 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
Cover and cook on low for an additional 1 hour or until the cheese is melted and the dip is heated through. Serve with tortilla chips or bread.

Notes

If you do not want to use Velveeta, try cream cheese, It will mimic the same creaminess that Velveeta gives.
You can also make this in a large pot on the stovetop to melt everything together. Stir it often over low heat so it does not scorch on the bottom of the pan.
Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Reheat any leftovers in the microwave or in the slow cooker on low.
