    List of Ingredients




    1 pound heavy-smoked andouille sausage

    2 pounds Velveeta cheese, diced

    1 (12-ounce) can jalape�os, chopped

    1/4 cup butter

    1 cup onions, diced

    1/4 cup celery, diced

    1/4 cup red bell peppers, diced

    2 tbsps garlic, minced

    4 cups mayonnaise

    salt and cracked pepper to taste

    Louisiana Gold Pepper Sauce to taste

    1/4 cup parsley, minced

    Recipe



    Dice the andouille or other heavy-smoked sausage and allow cheese to set at room temperature for 30 minutes. Remove seeds from jalape�o peppers and rinse the jalape�os under cold, running water. This will remove some of the heat. In a heavy-bottomed saut� pan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery, bell peppers, garlic and andouille. Saut� 3-5 minutes or until vegetables are wilted. Add jalape�os and continue to saut� 2-3 minutes more. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Pour the ingredients from saut� pan into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Blend well until smooth. Place the blended ingredients in a large mixing bowl and add cheese and mayonnaise. Using a wire whisk, whip until mixture is smooth and of a dipping sauce consistency. Season to taste using salt, pepper and Louisiana Gold. Sprinkle in parsley. Pour ingredients into a decorative serving bowl and heat to serving temperature in the microwave. Place in the center of a large serving platter surrounded by garlic croutons, toast points or tortilla chips. This dip may also be served cold and will hold well in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
