Ingredients
  

Hissy Fit Dip Ingredients
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese 450g, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup Sour Cream 240ml, full-fat preferred
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce 15ml
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder 5g
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder 5g
  • 2 cups Sharp Orange Cheddar Cheese 225g, freshly shredded
  • 8 slices Thick-Cut Bacon 225g, cooked until dark red and crispy
  • 1/2 cup Green Onions 50g, thinly sliced
  • 1 bag Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips Sturdy style for dipping

Equipment

  • 1 White Ceramic Baking Dish 1.5 or 2 quart size
  • 1 Cast-Iron Skillet For crisping bacon
  • 1 Hand mixer For a smooth base

Instructions
 

Preparation
  1. Dice the bacon and cook in a skillet over medium heat until dark red, brown, and very crispy. Drain thoroughly on paper towels.
  2. Using a hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder until smooth and off-white.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Spread the cream cheese mixture into a white ceramic baking dish. Top with a thick, even layer of shredded orange cheddar.
  2. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes. Switch to broil for 2 minutes until the cheese is blistered and bubbling.
  3. Top with crispy bacon crumbles and thinly sliced green onions. Serve warm with yellow corn tortilla chips.

Notes

Always shred your own cheese for the best blistering effect.
Drain bacon well to prevent a greasy top layer.
