DS Sausage Dip

The guild is chugging along through Dragon Soul and I gotta say, dragon slaying can make a raider hungry!  One of my guys resorted to a pickle and reese's cups this week, bleehhh.  Poor guy had no time to eat/cook before raid and a raiders gotta eat.  Definitely time for more quick, easy, and more filling than pickles recipes.

Today I give you Dragon Soul Sausage Dip.  Made with real dragon if you have it, sadly I was out and had to use Pork Sausage instead. ;)  Don't let this recipe fool you...  It is dip and fantastical with Chips but this is totally dual-spec'd!  Grab a baked potato and top it with this dip and you'll thank me later!  You can also make a batch and refrigerate it until you need it.  Microwave a little for yourself or put it in a crockpot for gatherings.
