Base Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
Savory Add-ins
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
Seasonings
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Prepare Ingredients: Soften the cream cheese to room temperature for easier mixing. Cook and crumble the sausage until browned and set aside to cool slightly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheese, cooked sausage, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the mixture into a small baking dish, spreading it evenly for consistent heating.
- Bake the Dip: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the dip for about 20-25 minutes, or until it is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
- Serve Warm: Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced baguette for dipping.
Notes
- For added heat, mix in some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
- Use turkey sausage for a leaner option.
