Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 lb (450g) breakfast sausage
Cheeses:
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream
- 1/2 cup (120g) mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup (50g) chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup (25g) diced jalapenos
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Brown the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat, crumbling it into tiny pieces until fully cooked. Drain excess grease and let cool momentarily.
- Whisk cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise in a large mixing bowl until smooth and well-integrated. Incorporate garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a creamy base.
- Gently fold shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses into the mixture, ensuring even distribution of dairy components.
- Integrate the cooled sausage crumbles into the cheese blend, stirring carefully to maintain a consistent texture.
- Add chopped green onions and diced jalapeños, mixing thoroughly to distribute the zesty elements throughout the dip.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, preparing a baking dish by spreading the mixture evenly and creating a smooth surface.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top turns golden and the edges become bubbly and slightly crisp.
- Remove from oven and garnish with additional green onions or jalapeños for a fresh, vibrant presentation.
- Serve immediately alongside crisp tortilla chips, toasted bread slices, or fresh vegetable sticks for optimal enjoyment.
Notes
- Customize the heat level by adjusting jalapeño quantities or using different pepper varieties like poblano or mild green chiles for heat variation.
- Drain sausage thoroughly to prevent excess grease from making the dip too oily or runny.
- Swap ground sausage with vegetarian alternatives like plant-based crumbles or finely chopped mushrooms for a meat-free version.
- Use low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt instead of full-fat ingredients to create a lighter, healthier dip without compromising flavor.
