Notes

Alternatively, you can make this on the stovetop following the same directions but heating over low heat, stirring occasionally until fully melted. Transfer to a serving dish.
Depending on the flavoring of sausage you use, I recommending seasoning with taco seasoning.
Optional add-ins: one can of corn, one can of black beans (rinsed & drained), garlic powder, onion powder (in place of diced onion).

Every slow cooker runs differently. Times given are a general recommendation and should be tested in your own slow cooker and adjusted as needed.
