Italian Sausage Cheese Dip
This dip was delicious, I used Imperial Cheese and it was a little too salty for some, so would recommend using a 1/2 cup if you are watching your salt intake. I had some leftover, and made macaroni and added this dip with parmesan cheese on top…. Very delicious!
I havent bought Velveeta cheese since the 80’s, and it does add a nice creamy texture.
