Instructions
1
Begin by preparing your slow cooker by setting it to low. Add in the Velveeta pepper jack cheese, allowing it to start melting gradually.
2
Once the cheese begins to melt, stir in the canned Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, browned chorizo, and your predetermined amount of salsa.
3
Allow the mixture to heat for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Adjust seasoning with garlic powder and add hot sauce for desired spiciness.
4
About 15 minutes before serving, prepare your sourdough bread bowl by hollowing it out, leaving about 1/2 inch of bread on the interior. Save the removed bread and cut it into cubes for dipping.
5
Once the dip is creamy and well-combined, carefully pour it into the prepared bread bowl. Serve immediately with the bread cubes, fresh vegetables, tortilla chips, or pretzels.
