Another great option for this recipe is to use ground sausage. The flavors of the browned ground sausage is amazing, especially when it’s all cooked as a dip. It’s extra flavor and still simple to make. If you buy sausage in the casing, just remove it from the casing and brown it as you would the beef. Hope you enjoy this dip as much as we do!

- 1 1/2 cups (170 g) freshly grated Cheddar cheese , divided
