Notes:

Sausage Selection: Use a flavorful breakfast sausage, or try spicy sausage for an extra kick. You can also use turkey sausage for a lighter option.

Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing. Leave it out at room temperature for about an hour before starting.

Cheese Variations: Feel free to mix in other cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for added flavor and creaminess.

Add Heat: If you like it spicy, consider adding diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the mixture.

Make Ahead: Prepare the dip a day in advance and refrigerate it. Just bake it when you’re ready to serve. It saves time and allows the flavors to meld!

Baking Dish: A 9×9 dish is ideal, but you can also use a larger dish if you want a thinner layer for quicker baking.

Serving Ideas: This dip pairs well with a variety of dippers such as tortilla chips, pita chips, crackers, or fresh veggies like bell peppers and carrots.

Garnish: Consider garnishing with extra chopped chives or parsley before serving for a fresh touch.

Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before enjoying again.

Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on the dip while it bakes; if the edges start to brown too much, cover with foil for the remaining baking time.
