Tips to Make Hissy Fit Dip
- Make it ahead: You can prepare the dip a day in advance. Just mix all the ingredients, refrigerate it, and then bake when ready to serve.
- Adjust the heat: If you prefer a milder dip, use mild sausage and leave out the cayenne pepper. For extra heat, use spicy sausage or add more cayenne.
- Experiment with flavors: Feel free to add some cooked vegetables, like bell peppers or mushrooms, to the mix for added flavor and texture.
Variation
You can switch out the meats by using ground turkey or chicken instead of sausage. For a vegetarian option, skip the meat entirely and add extra veggies or black beans for texture.

It usually takes about 20-25 minutes at 350°F until the dip is hot and bubbly.
3. Can I freeze Hissy Fit Dip?
While it’s best fresh, you can freeze the dip before baking. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and then bake when you’re ready to enjoy it.
