Ingredients
  

Hissy Fit Dip Ingredients
  • 1 lb Ground Pork Sausage Browned and crumbled
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream Full fat
  • 8 oz Monterey Jack Cheese Freshly grated, divided
  • 8 oz Sharp Yellow Cheddar Cheese Freshly grated, divided
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/4 cup Green Onions Freshly chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Coarse Black Pepper
  • 1 bag Scoop-Style Corn Chips For dipping

Equipment

  • 1 Rustic Round Ceramic Baking Dish Essential for crispy cheese edges.
  • 1 Large Skillet For browning the sausage.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork sausage to the dry pan. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until savory browned crumbles form. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Blend until smooth. Fold in the garlic powder, onion powder, half of the shredded Monterey Jack, and half of the shredded yellow cheddar.
  3. Fold the browned crumbled pork sausage into the cheese mixture. Transfer the mixture into a rustic round ceramic baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  4. Top the dip with the remaining grated cheeses. Bake uncovered at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until bubbling. Turn your oven broiler to HIGH and broil for 1 to 2 minutes until a golden-brown, blistered cheese crust forms with slightly charred edges.
  5. Remove from the oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes. Garnish generously with freshly chopped green onions and a subtle sprinkle of coarse black pepper. Serve immediately with sturdy scoop-style corn chips.

Notes

Grate Your Own Cheese: Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that prevent a smooth melt. Freshly grated cheese ensures a creamy white and pale yellow blend.
Drain the Fat: If you don't drain the browned crumbled pork sausage, the excess grease will pool on the top surface of your baked cheese crust.
