One pound Velveeta, one can Rotel tomatoes and 1/2-1 pound pork sausage. Melt the Velveeta with the Rotel tomatoes in the double boiler, cook up the sausage in a skillet and drain, when cheese mixture is melted add as much sausage as you like. We used to add the whole pound package, but I have Sharon Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-45987146556748398282014-02-14T18:13:21.073-05:002014-02-14T18:13:21.073-05:00Like Cleo, my double boiler is stashed waaaaay bac...Like Cleo, my double boiler is stashed waaaaay back in a cabinet and rarely sees the light of day. I love this recipe, though, and will be sure to try it. Such a lovely remembrance of your mom. The bowls are beautiful. And what's better than a little pocket of the sauce at the bottom? Yum!<br /><br />Huge congratulations on hitting the NYT's list! I'm thrilled for you!

I have to say I was happy when I tasted the sauce and it tasted just the way it always did when my mother made it--and I realized I had never made it myself, because it was "her" recipe. Maybe now I can get brave and try out a microwave version (carefully!). I will confess that my first try at fudge crystallized in mid-air, so I didn't try again for years.Sheila Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165644581595919711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-1270668501631589452014-02-14T12:14:53.592-05:002014-02-14T12:14:53.592-05:00Congratulations on the book!

Sounds similar to my grandmother's recipe, although I think she used cocoa. She was a marvelous cook but never measured anything. We tried to watch and guess, sometimes with successful results and sometimes not. The picture looks just like her chocolate sauce looked - yummy.Grandma Cootiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709540756822695170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-69144719573611578432014-02-14T12:14:11.033-05:002014-02-14T12:14:11.033-05:00I'm old enough to have a double boiler, too! ...I'm old enough to have a double boiler, too!

I also have a double-boiler, because I'm old enough to, but I use a heatproof glass bowl as Cleo does. I'll have to run a controlled experiment to compare.
