12 ounces Italian sausage
½ cup onion, diced
8 ounces processed cheese block (such as Velveeta)
4 ounces cream cheese
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

Brown the Sausage and Onion: In a large pan, cook the Italian sausage and diced onion over medium heat until the sausage is fully browned and the onion is soft. Drain any excess fat.
Melt the Cheeses: Add the processed cheese block and cream cheese to the pan. Stir continuously over medium heat until melted and smooth.
Add Flavor and Heat: Whisk in the dry mustard powder, milk, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir as the mixture comes to a gentle bubble.
Finish with Cheddar: Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until fully melted and combined.
Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips or crostini.

Make Ahead: You can prepare the dip a day in advance and reheat it before serving. Add a splash of milk if needed to loosen it up.
Keep Warm: To keep the dip warm during your event, transfer it to a slow cooker on the “warm” setting.
Spice It Up: Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
