TIPS AND VARIATIONS

Sausage – I used ground pork breakfast sausage.
Cheese – You can alter the cheese if you don’t have cheddar or prefer another type.
This dip has Dijon mustard in it. You can taste the mustard it. Therefore, I recommend reducing the amount or omitting it altogether if you’re not a mustard fan.
As well, I use just a little mayonnaise in my recipe. It lightens it just a tad. Otherwise, it’s really thick with just cream cheese.

HOW DO YOU SERVE CHEESY SAUSAGE DIP?

After you remove this dip from the oven, let it sit for at least 5 minutes to cool.
I prefer this dip served hot or warm.
I like to serve Cheesy Sausage Dip with Scoops. The chips in the photo are an off-brand corn chip that tasted just like Scoops. As well, tortilla chips, sturdy crackers, chips, crostini, pretzel sticks, or breadsticks will be good.
Finally, you could also use vegetables to dip. Try broccoli, cauliflower, celery, or zucchini.
