Blue Ribbon Recipe by

Amazing flavor!! I have always loved Ro-tel dip and decided it would be great over an omelet. I used sausage rather than ground beef for this recipe. It is spicy, but yummy! Serve with a side of fresh cubed melons, fresh fruit, and a warm croissant. Use remaining sauce for dipping nacho chips. :)

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This is a simple omelet that's packed with flavor. The nacho sauce with the breakfast sausage is creative and delicious poured over the cheese omelet. You'll get 2-3 omelets from the recipe and will definitely have plenty of sausage nacho cheese sauce leftover. If you don't need to make more omelets, save the sauce for a cheese dip snack for later in the day.
