Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup mayonnaise

Cheeses

  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

Additional Flavorings

  • 1 cup cooked ground sausage (mild or spicy, crumbled)
  • 1 4 oz can diced green chiles, drained
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

For Serving

  • Crackers, tortilla chips, or bread slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish or a cast-iron skillet to prevent sticking and prepare for baking the dip evenly.
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and crumbled. Once cooked, drain the excess grease thoroughly to keep the dip from becoming greasy.
  3. Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, creamy mixture that forms the base of the dip.
  4. Add Cheese and Flavor: Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, shredded pepper jack cheese, cooked sausage, diced green chiles, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper if using, and salt and black pepper to taste to the base mixture. Stir everything together until all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.
  5. Bake: Spread the complete mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish or skillet. Place it in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and golden brown on top, signaling it is heated through and ready.
  6. Serve Hot: Remove the dip from the oven. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm with crackers, tortilla chips, or bread slices for dipping and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can adjust the spice level by modifying or omitting the cayenne pepper according to your preference.
  • Use mild or spicy sausage depending on the flavor profile you desire.
  • For a crispier top, broil the dip for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • This dip can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
  • If you want a thicker dip, use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
