Here's how I do mine...
Cook 1 lb. sausage in microwave, stirring and crumbling until all pink is gone. Put in colander and mash with spoon until all grease and water is squeezed out and meat is well crumbled.
Put sausage back in same bowl along with 1 lb. cubed Velveeta Lite cheese and 1/2 cup Pace Picante sauce. Nuke until melted. Taste, check texture, and add more picante sauce and/or hot sauce of your choice.
Serve with tortilla chips and an assortment of crudites.
Keep warm in a small crockpot, or re-nuke as needed.
*A spoonful of this is great in a bowl of chili!*
*Note: You may add a small can of green chilies or other hot peppers of your choice to this. Just make sure they are well drained. If you use the hot style Pace, I doubt that you'll need anything more.
But then, I'm from Illinois....
