Description
Hissy Fit Dip is an easy, crowd-pleasing appetizer made with ground sausage, sour cream, Velveeta, and Muenster cheese. Baked until hot and bubbly, this creamy dip is perfect for game day parties, tailgates, and any gathering where you need to feed a hungry crowd.
Ingredients
For the Dip:
- 1 lb ground sausage
- 16 oz sour cream (full fat works best!)
- 8 oz Velveeta cheese, cut into small cubes
- 4 oz Muenster cheese, shredded or cubed
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
Instructions
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). This gives you time to get everything mixed while the oven comes to temp!
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until it’s no longer pink, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes. You want it nicely browned with no pink spots remaining.
Once your sausage is cooked through, drain off any excess fat. I usually just tilt the pan and use a spoon to scoop it out—no need to be too fussy here!
In a large mixing bowl, combine your cooked sausage, sour cream, cubed Velveeta, Muenster cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and dried parsley. Stir it all together until everything is evenly distributed. Don’t worry if the cheese isn’t fully melted yet—that’s what the oven is for!
Scoop your dip mixture into your baking dish and spread it out evenly. Give the top a little smooth with your spoon so it bakes evenly.
Pop that dish in your preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges and all that cheese is gloriously melted.
Let the dip cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet for the sausage to make cleanup a breeze.
- Stir halfway through baking if you want an ultra-smooth consistency throughout.
- Common mistake to avoid: Don’t use low-fat sour cream—it can make the dip watery and less creamy.
- Smart shortcut: Use pre-shredded cheese to save time (though freshly shredded does melt better!).
