Bold, cheesy, and utterly addictive, Hissy Fit Dip is the kind of crowd-pleasing appetizer that disappears faster than you can say “pass the chips.”
Creamy layers of Velveeta, sausage, and muenster create a dip so craveable, you’ll understand the name the moment it’s gone too soon.
What You’ll Need to Make This Hissy Fit Dip
- Sausage – Brings a rich, savory base with just the right amount of spice and heartiness.
- Sour cream – Adds tangy creaminess that balances the bold flavors and keeps every bite luxuriously smooth.
- Velveeta cheese – Melts like a dream, creating that gooey, golden goodness essential for ultimate dip status.
- Muenster cheese – Offers a mellow, melty richness that rounds out the cheese blend with buttery depth.
- Onion powder – Adds a subtle, savory kick to deepen the flavor without overpowering.
- Garlic powder – Gives the dip a warm, aromatic backbone that enhances every other ingredient.
- Worcestershire sauce – Introduces a hint of umami complexity that ties all the elements together.
- Dried parsley – A touch of herbaceous color and freshness to brighten each bite.
How to Make Hissy Fit Dip – The Quick & Craveable Process
Start by browning your sausage until perfectly cooked and crumbled. This forms the flavor-packed foundation of the dip.
Mix the sausage with sour cream, Velveeta, muenster, and the seasonings in a large bowl. Make sure everything is evenly combined and velvety.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased 9×9-inch baking dish. Bake it in a preheated oven at 350°F until hot and bubbly, about 30–40 minutes.
Serve warm with chips, crackers, or crunchy veggie sticks, and watch it vanish before your eyes.
Secrets to the Best Hissy Fit Dip Every Time
For the creamiest texture, use Velveeta Shreds if available—they melt quickly and evenly without clumping. Muenster cheese offers a unique creaminess, but Monterey Jack or mozzarella can be swapped in for a similar effect.
To make the dip ahead, mix everything together and refrigerate it overnight. This helps the flavors meld even more deeply. Just pop it in the oven when ready to serve. Want a bit more heat? Try a spicy sausage blend or stir in a pinch of cayenne.
Storing and Reheating Leftovers Like a Pro
If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, store the dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It reheats well in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each to maintain that gooey consistency.
Avoid freezing this dip, as the dairy base can separate and become grainy when thawed. For best results, enjoy it fresh or reheated from the fridge.
Cheesy Hissy Fit Dip
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 ounces muenster cheese
- 1 pound sausage
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 8 ounces Velveeta cheese cubed or shredded
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 16 ounces sour cream
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly coat a 9×9-inch baking dish with non-stick spray, setting it aside once prepared. In a 12-inch non-stick skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart with a meat masher until it is fully browned with no traces of pink remaining; drain off the excess fat. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage with sour cream, Velveeta, muenster cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and parsley, stirring thoroughly to blend. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the surface is bubbling hot and the cheeses are fully melted.
