The ingredients for this queso dip with collard greens and sausage ready to cook in a crock pot!

My family can consume queso, or cheese dip, by the gallons, and there is no shortage of occasions that they feel warrant some festive chips and dip!  That’s why this particular recipe is so handy.  It’s easy to make because the crock pot does all the work.  After the sausage is browned and collard greens are chopped, all the ingredients are just dumped in the slow cooker where the cheeses melt and the flavors mingle and marry to become some of the best southern queso dip around!

Tomatoes, collards and sausage are a classic southern comfort food trio.  Using spicy ground sausage and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes offers a nice kick to the mix.  Not to mention, the combination of cream cheese, milk and Velveeta keep this dip rich and creamy even when it cools.
