Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound sausage
  • 2 pints sliced mushrooms
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1½ teaspoons garlic salt
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  2. Sauté the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the cooked sausage and continue cooking until the mushrooms release their moisture and it evaporates, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Combine Cream Cheese and Sour Cream: Lower the heat and add the cream cheese and sour cream to the sausage and mushroom mixture. Stir over low heat until the cream cheese melts and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add Seasoning and Cheese: Stir in the garlic salt and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese until melted and fully incorporated.
  5. Transfer and Top: Pour the mixture into a baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
  6. Bake the Dip: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the dip for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
  7. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm with crackers, bread, or vegetables.

Notes

  • For a less rich version, use low-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
  • Sausage can be replaced with a plant-based alternative to make the recipe vegetarian-friendly.
  • Ensure to drain excess fat from the cooked sausage to avoid a greasy dip.
  • Sliced button mushrooms work best, but cremini or baby bella mushrooms can be used as well.
  • Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
