Hissy Fit Dip

Hissy Fit Dip is a creamy, cheesy sausage dip that is a popular favorite at parties and gatherings. It’s packed with savory sausage, rich Velveeta and muenster cheeses, and balanced with sour cream and flavorful seasonings to create a delicious, comforting appetizer that’s easy to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser.

You’ll love this dip because it’s warm, cheesy, and full of bold flavors from Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and onion powder. The combination of Velveeta and muenster cheeses melts beautifully to give a smooth, velvety texture while the sausage adds hearty, meaty bites. This dip is perfect served with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.

Ingredients

• 1 lb sausage
• 16 oz sour cream
• 8 oz Velveeta cheese, cut into small cubes or shredded
• 4 oz muenster cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2. In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until it is no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain the excess fat.

3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, sour cream, Velveeta cheese, muenster cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and dried parsley. Stir well until ingredients are evenly mixed.

4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until the dip is hot and bubbly.

6. Serve warm with your choice of tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
