Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground sausage (hot or mild, depending on your heat preference)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup pickled or fresh jalapeños, diced (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for a crunchy topping)

Instructions

  • Cook the Sausage:
    • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Prepare the Dip Mixture:
    • In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
    • Add the cooked sausage, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and diced jalapeños. Stir until well combined.
  • Assemble the Dip:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Spread the dip mixture into a baking dish (8×8 inch or similar size).
    • For a crunchy topping, sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
  • Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the dip is bubbly and golden on top.
    • If you prefer an extra crispy top, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking.
  • Serve:
    • Garnish with green onions if desired.
    • Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.

Notes


  • Adjust Heat:     Use fewer jalapeños or swap for milder peppers if you prefer a less spicy dip.
  • Make Ahead: This dip can be prepared and refrigerated a day in advance; just bake when you’re ready to serve.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Substitute cream cheese, sour cream, and cheese with dairy-free versions.
