Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage, removed from casing
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Tortilla chips or pretzels, for serving

Instructions

  • Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into crumbles. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
  • Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken broth over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the cream cheese until smooth and melted.
  • Add Cheeses: Stir in the cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses, stirring constantly until fully melted and smooth.
  • Thicken the Sauce: Add the milk, flour, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and is heated through.
  • Combine the Sausage: Add the cooked sausage to the cheese mixture, stirring until well combined.
  • Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving dish and serve warm with tortilla chips or pretzels.

Notes

  • For a milder version, substitute mild sausage for the hot sausage.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.
