I purchased one of your knives as a Christmas gift for my son, who does a lot of cooking. I will let you know what he thinks.

[@lisabady8209]

😮

[@Swit70]

Thx Matt, I wanted to thin the Velveeta but I thought the heavy cream would thicken the cheese. Also, how would beef chorizo pair with this combo?

[@leyley1970]

YUMMMM!!! I found just the can of Chipotle sauce.. I always keep it on hand and I buy the Tabasco chipotle too..

[@matabrandy1]

Try using Mexican Chorizo in the dip it is awesome

[@rollotomassi4768]

Is there Canadian Chorizo?

[@Elistice1]

He's in the Va. I don't think he has access to Chorizo

[@user-rz8bu6vl8x]

Yes it is great!

[@jailelitaker9921]

Chorizo sounds amazing!!! And if he can get Sazon at his local grocer, surely he can get chorizo! It may not be the best quality, but it would still be good. I also think that andouille sausage would be amazing

[@SundayCookingRemix]

I always seem to only find the greasy gross chorizo 😢 and I was in San diego 😂

[@atlaustell]

I season the meat with taco seasoning, use Doritos instead of regular tortilla chips, use Mexican velveeta and hot rotel tomatoes and add a can of diced green chilis

[@zipporahlewis4908]

I hate when people say you've been doing something the wrong way, if you're doing it the way you like it and prefer it then it's not the wrong way imo

[@Dime0flame.]

It hits different when you prepare and cook everything yourself

[@mrsritell]

That crunch on the tortilla chip was on point!!💯

[@MrMakeItHappen]

so good! thank you!

[@Greg-trumpet]

A little too thick for me. Chevy’s has the thinnest, best chips (and salsa).

[@1988remixx]

I’ve seen & read that if you’ve ever noticed your “homemade” tortilla chips only staying crispy for a short amount of time & then getting rubbery that means there’s too much moisture in the tortilla’s prior to frying. You may need to first dry them out a bit in the oven @ 200 degree’s for a few minutes, then do the deep fry. Supposedly this keeps the chips freshly crunchy for much longer.

[@MrMakeItHappen]

i will try that

[@rhondamrandall5293]

I put mine in a closed container they stay fresh almost 3 days

[@JessJoanne]

I do bake mine first. Makes a big difference. Storing them properly helps too.

[@JessJoanne]

I do bake mine first. Before cutting. Makes a huge difference. Storing them properly helps too.

[@jao62223]

​@@JessJoanne❤

[@katavelino]

To level it up I use chorizo…… I use cilantro, diced Roma tomatoes ,onion ,some diced jalapeño or Serrano and chili powder and cumin 😋 so good

[@MrsKrysLynn]

I saw this right before I went grocery shopping and got everything I need to make this this weekend, including the tortillas 👏🏽😋 thank you for sharing!

[@addisonmom3917]

I'm from Louisiana. We LOVE everything with a kick to it. I must say your voice, attitude, and last but in no way the least your cooking skills are so relatable. You're a genuine southern country boy at Heart. OOH WEE, you most definitely Make It Happen!

[@EXISTMUSIC]

I was not planning on cooking anything tonight instead opting for take out....think this video just changed my mind this looks AMAZING.

[@RicheyJohnsonJr]

This recipe was a game changer. I make Rotel dip every Sunday as a reward for myself. I’ve being doing it wrong for so long. The Velveeta, avocado oil, Goya juice, and sausage was an insane flavor that I needed in my life.

[@RandemNJ]

I may have to make this dip for this weekend's playoff games.

[@jao62223]

Make sure you brown the sausage that really makes the difference

[@jao62223]

😂 Yes, those gloves would have to come off to remove that skin from the onion for sure

[@bernardferrell9750]

The only thing I would do different would be to add the Goya ingredients into a blender and add 1 Tbs of Olive Oil and 1/4 cup of beef stock and blend until smooth. I would then add that to the dip mixture.

[@bigwizzle45]

You and AB have leveled up my cooking repertoire substantially!

[@tammywelsh1532]

I make mine almost the same way except I use Kroger brand jalapeño cheese it’s like Valletta but better. I use hot sausage also but add a can diced chilies and can of jalapeños. I put everything in my crockpot and WOW IS IT GOOD!!

[@MrMakeItHappen]

Sounds great

[@alfryonmcclay6062]

Imma gonna have to try this Kroger brand out

[@highyella1426]

I lime the Kroger brand better than velveta

[@trustgodmore5294]

Thank you for teaching me how to finely chop an onion the easy way.

[@MrMakeItHappen]

that's what I'm here for

[@cyndi1379]

I know, right?!?

[@vernitascott-flanton4526]

I like that cold skillet technique for the sausage!

[@MrMakeItHappen]

Thank you

[@poppyent]

Thank you so much for this recipe! That Goya Chipotle Pepper Juice definitely brought the flavor to another level 🫡💯

[@GreenWitch1]

I’ve never added anything to my rotel dip, but this looks amazing! Definitely going to try it.

[@MauriceCooper-tp8xv]

Your version looks incredible! Tons of flavor here.👍👍 And the bloopers, hilarious!😂😂

[@MrMakeItHappen]

[@patriciahartless2095]

[@j-willy4137]

I’ll be trying this over playoff football! Genuinely thank you sir. & so glad your buds with my man AB 🙌🏾

[@tabbathacook1781]

That looks amazing. I’ve used canned chili or hot dog sauce but I’m definitely trying this way. The flavors you have going in there made my mouth water. Thank you so much.

[@user-wd2tw2hw4q]

Going to try your receipe. Looks delicious!

[@anonnnymousthegreat]

Man, you’re better than me. It would be hard for me to just take one bite. Half that pan would be gone in one sitting if it was me 😮‍💨

[@samanthafitch952]

That looks absolutely delicious! Definitely trying that

[@Msladyinc]

I been making it with this sausage for many years. My cousin in Mississippi taught me this way over 10 years ago. It’s good!

[@MsTiggytig]

That looks delish Also thank you for the tortilla recipe I never thought of that

[@mariatrevino3799]

Delicious thank you for sharing❤

[@reneebutler832]

Love this recipe and can't wait to try it! Here's a tip - The Chipotle peppers that are not used can be blended down - You have to really blend the peppers and/or strain them to keep the skins out. (Unless you're making a big batch, you won't need the whole can of peppers - they can get very spicy) add olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, oregano, red wine vinegar and a splash of lime - you've got one great salad dressing!! Kinda a Chipotle salad dressing copy cat.

[@Cc0564]

What’s up guy you always make it happen I love it. Looks delicious. Happy new year to you and your family❤️❤️❤️👍🏽👌🏽👍🏽👌🏽😉✌🏽

[@MelissaRiceKC]

Making this Saturday for the game! The only secret I use is taco seasoning in the meat 🔥 GO CHIEFS ❤

[@MrMakeItHappen]

thank you!

[@beautifulsurprise9424]

The seasoning blend he used is the exact same as what is in taco seasoning. He basically blended his own homemade taco seasoning. Paprika, chili powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin are standard in every pre-packaged taco seasonings on the market. If I made this myself I’d probably go that route as well because it’s faster and easier than pulling down each seasoning bottle.

[@MelissaRiceKC]

@@beautifulsurprise9424 exactly lol! I just go this route because it’s quicker lol

[@WillUfollowtheSon]

@@MelissaRiceKC So do I! 😀

[@Mochi-sn3ud]

@MelissaRiceKC yes, so do I:) Simple easy! I also use this for my Chili!!!

Go Cowboys. In Texas, we have been Rotel dip forever. How bout our Cowboys ❤

[@ashleytucker9472]

Go Cowboys! I’m right here in Dallas!!!!

[@Awood2207]

For my rotel dip, I use Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage, Queso Blanco Velveeta (or Regular if they don't have the Queso Blanco), Hot Rotel, Cream Cheese, and Sweet Corn. I have a 7qt Crock Pot that I make mine in, so I use 3 things of Sausage, 2 Blocks of Queso Blanco Velveeta, 1 Block of Cream Cheese, 2-3 cans of Rotel (or 1 big can if they have it), 2 cans of Sweet Corn, plus I like to put it in the fridge for leftovers. Note: The Sweet Corn sounds weird to put in a Rotel Dip...but it's actually very good, gives it a slight sweetness to the already salty cheeses and sausage. I also only put Cayenne Pepper and Garlic Powder when browning my sausage since it already has salt in the meat.

[@sheri_elizabeth222]

When I get your notifications, I click and like👍🏾. It's a no-brainer. And I love a blooper.😊

[@NuttinbutdaBlues]

I make a very similar dip to this but with bacon instead of sausage, also adding a couple of diced jalapeños. Great stuff!

[@HoniBear68]

Yup I’ve been making my Rotel Dip all wrong. Thank you for clearing everything up. ❤😊😊😊

[@chrisbednar577]

The recipe looks delicious! 😋

[@markhernandez135]

Dawg! This is one of my go to snacks for holidays and game day…my grandma always used the Jimmy dean sausage

[@rhettamcguire2068]

I’ve been making it similar to this for years lol. I use small Mexican velveta and large original 1 cream cheese and heavy cream along with same seasoning and spicy jimmy dean sausage and rotel 2 cans 1 drained all in a lined crockpot. If in a real pinch can use jimmy dean precooked crumbles

[@reinventedmama]

My skillet arrived yesterday! It is NICE!!! It has a great weight and feel to it and is really beautiful. I can't wait to use it!

[@shanamcdaniel586]
