Her request, dip…dip…and more dip! Like her mommie, she loves dip…we love anything that resembles an appetizer…dip being our favorite!
My Italian Sausage Dip is going to be a big hit!
I used some great sausage, you can use whatever style of sausage you prefer…chorizo would work very well in this recipe.
Next, I sauteed some Anaheim chiles, onion, jalapeno, garlic, and tomatoes.
I chopped all the cooked vegetables, then added it back to my cooked sausage.
You don’t have to chop the vegetables in a blender but my daughter wanted them chopped, she said it was because she wanted the sausage to be chunky, while the vegetables would be a little creamy…something about texture…lol…she loves using food terms.
Add mayo, sour cream, and green onions to the sausage/veggie mixture, mix well.
Pour into a greased casserole dish, top with more cheese and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.
Allow mixture to cool for about 10 minutes before serving, if you can wait that long.
Don’t forget to top with fresh tomatoes and green onions.
Scoop and enjoy! This dip is like French onion dip, meets Mexico, and Italy…adding a little chopped avocado on top wouldn’t hurt it at all.
