Football Dip

This simple, hearty dip is great for crisp fall football weekends when you'd rather watch the action on the field than the stove, oven, or grill.

2 lbs. Jimmy Dean Sausage (hot or mild as you like), or 1 lb. sausage and 1 lb. ground beef
1 large jar salsa (mild, medium, or hot as you like)
1/2 large red onion, diced
1 can diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained (Rotel recommended)
32 oz. Velveeta, cubed
1 jar sliced jalapenos, including juice to taste
Salt and pepper, garlic powder to taste
Tabasco to taste if desired

Brown and drain the sausage. Put the cooked sausage and all other ingredients in a crock pot. Set the pot for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally during dead-ball situations.

Serve with Fritos Scoops or sturdy tortilla chips.
