Instructions
Now let’s get to the fun part—making this irresistible dip! It’s simple, quick, and the results are seriously tasty.
Step 1: Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until it’s browned and crumbled. Make sure to break it up into small pieces as it cooks. Once it’s fully cooked, drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
Step 2: Mix the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend everything together until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Add the Cheese
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese until it’s evenly incorporated. The cheese will melt beautifully and create that delicious, gooey texture we all love.
Step 4: Combine the Sausage
Add the cooked sausage into the creamy cheese mixture, along with the green onions. Mix everything together until well combined. The sausage adds a hearty, savory flavor that pairs perfectly with the creamy base.
Step 5: Bake the Dip
Transfer the dip mixture into a greased baking dish (about 9×9 inches works great). Spread it out evenly and top it with a little extra shredded cheese if you want it extra cheesy. Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and golden on top.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping chips, crackers, or veggies, and watch it disappear in no time!
How to Serve Mississippi Sin Dip
This dip is perfect for any occasion, and here are a few ideas on how to serve it:
Chips: Serve it with tortilla chips, pita chips, or even potato chips for an extra crunch.
Crackers: Crunchy crackers are perfect for dipping into the creamy, cheesy goodness.
Veggies: For a lighter, healthier option, pair it with raw veggies like carrots, celery, or bell peppers.
Bread: Sliced baguette or toasted bread slices are great for scooping up this cheesy goodness.
As a Party Platter: For a fun, shareable experience, serve the dip in a large dish with an assortment of dippers laid out around it.
Additional Tips
Make it Spicy: Want to add a little heat? Stir in some chopped jalapeños, or drizzle the top with your favorite hot sauce before baking.
Add Bacon: For an extra layer of flavor, crispy bacon bits make an awesome addition to this dip. Just sprinkle them on top before serving!
Make Ahead: You can prepare the dip a day ahead and refrigerate it until you’re ready to bake. It keeps well in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just pop it in the oven when you’re ready to serve.
Freezer-Friendly: If you have leftovers (which is rare!), you can freeze the dip for up to 1 month. Reheat it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
