So and So's Sausage Dip

This is one of those recipes that I don't want to make, but it's so good I just can't help it. I got the original recipe from a sister-in-law before she left the family. And I can't help but thinking, "This is so and so's recipe" each time I make it and I can just see her chopping tomatoes and peppers in my mom's kitchen chit chatting and laughing with the rest of us. And then I think of how simple life was way back then before my siblings and I grew up and had to really start figuring out what life was about and how to get through it all. Oh, well. Things happen for reasons. On the bright side, I have to thank her for sharing a few good recipes and a couple of darn good boys with the family.
