- 1 pound (16 ounces) pork sausage
Cheese and Dairy
- 1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
Additional Ingredients
- 1 small can (4 ounces) diced green chilies, drained
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Serving

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
- Cook Sausage: In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the pork sausage until browned and fully cooked, then drain any excess grease to avoid a greasy dip.
- Combine Cheeses and Chilies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cubed Velveeta cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, and drained diced green chilies. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even blend.
- Add Sausage: Add the cooked, drained sausage into the cheese mixture and stir well to distribute the sausage evenly throughout the dip.
- Season Mixture: Mix in Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper until the ingredients are well blended and flavorful.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Transfer the entire mixture into a baking dish, spreading it out evenly for consistent baking.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the top is lightly browned and appealing.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the dip from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. This helps it set a bit for easier serving and enhanced flavors.
- Serve: Serve the warm Hissy Fit Dip with crusty bread or tortilla chips for dipping and enjoy.
Notes
- Make sure to drain the cooked sausage well to prevent excess grease in the dip.
