You are guaranteed to get raves on this dip. You can serve it in a heated dish or crock pot on lowest setting, but it doesn't usually last long enough to bother. A good idea is to serve it in small batches, replenishing as necessary with the remainder that you've kept warm. For a big crowd, this recipe is easily doubled.

• 1/2 pound lean ground beef
• 1/2 pound pork sausage
• 1 pound Velveeta© cheese
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 cup chunky salsa (Mild, Hot or Hottest -- your choice)
• 1/2 can cream of mushroom soup
• 2 large cloves garlic, minced or put through a garlic press

Brown the ground beef and sausage together until crumbly. Drain on paper towels to remove as much fat as possible.

Combine beef/sausage mixture in a heavy saucepan, and add the remaining ingredients. Cook and stir over low heat until cheese is melted, and mixture is thoroughly combined. Serve warm with tortilla or corn chips. Makes 4 to 5 cups.
