Bacon Cheddar Sausage Dip Bread Bowls
This is the kind of appetizer that takes over the snack table and never lets go. The sausage brings the smoky-bacon, sharp-cheddar punch right into the dip — no extra bacon needed.
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 16 oz Bacon Cheddar Sausage diced small
- 4 small sourdough bread bowls or 1 large round
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 11/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar divided
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 green onions sliced (divided)
- Crackers or fresh-cut veggies for dipping
Instructions
- Hollow out the bowls. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cut the tops off the bread bowls and pull out the insides, tearing them into bite-sized pieces — those go on the dipping platter later.
- Make the dip base. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, 1 cup of the cheddar, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
- Fold in the good stuff. Stir in the diced sausage and half the green onions.
- Fill and top. Spoon the dip into the bread bowls, mounding it slightly. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar over the tops.
- Bake. Set the bowls on a sheet pan and bake 18–22 minutes, until the dip is bubbly and the cheese on top is golden.
- Serve hot. Scatter the remaining green onions over the top. Surround with the torn bread, crackers, and veggies. Dig in while it's hot.
