Set the stove to medium-high heat.

Add the Jimmy Dean sausage to the pan and cook until browned, breaking it down as it cooks.

Do not drain the sausage to retain flavor.

Add the two cans of Rotel tomatoes to the cooked sausage and mix well.

Heat the sausage and Rotel mixture until piping hot.

Layer the Velveeta cheese on top of the sausage and Rotel mixture, covering it with a lid to help it melt.

Monitor the cheese as it melts, adjusting the heat if necessary.

Once the cheese is melted, lower the heat to medium (about setting 5).

Gradually add in the 2 cups of milk, adjusting the amount based on desired thickness.

Transfer the queso dip to a crockpot set on warm for serving.
