cheesy sausage dip {recipe}

 

Did y'all know I used to be a bank manager?
Well, I was.

And this recipe was a hand-me-down from one of the tellers there. She had written it out on a piece of paper and copied it so many times that you could barely read the writing.

It's that good.

: :  Ingredients  : :

 - 1 lb of ground sausage

  - 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese

 - 8 oz of sour cream

 - 8 oz of cream cheese, softened

 - 10 oz of diced chilies, undrained

 - large loaf of Italian bread {optional}*

 - chips for dipping

*I love to bake/serve this dip in a bread bowl, but you could swap the bread out for a baking dish as well.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and brown the sausage.

While the sausage is cooking, prep your bread bowl. I typically use a loaf of Italian or French bread. Finding just the right shaped loaf can be a little tricky. You don't want anything too long and thin.

In a large bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients with the sausage.

Spoon into your bread bowl.

Bake for 35-40 minutes.

 I like to serve ours with Fritos Scoops. 

 Yum!
