How to Make Hissy Fit Dip

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground sausage (mild or spicy, your choice)
• 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 10 oz can Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies), drained
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
• Salt and black pepper (to taste)
• Fresh parsley or green onions (chopped, for garnish)

Directions:

1. Cook the sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbly. Drain excess grease.
2. Mix the base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well until smooth.
3. Add in the flavor: Stir in the cooked sausage, Rotel, sharp cheddar, and mozzarella cheeses. Mix well to combine.
4. Bake the dip: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the dip is hot and bubbly.
5. Serve hot: Remove the dip from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley or green onions. Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or toasted baguette slices.

Once cooled, you can store any leftover Hissy Fit Dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply put it in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between.
