How to Make Hissy Fit Dip

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and well blended. I like to use a hand mixer for this step to make it even easier.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced green chilies, sliced black olives, and chopped green onions. This is where the fun begins as you see the colorful ingredients come together!
- Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Transfer the dip to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld. This step is key for that delicious flavor profile!
- Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy the smiles on your friends’ faces as they dig in!
Substitutions & Additions
If you’re looking to change things up, here are some ideas:
- Swap the cheddar cheese for pepper jack for an extra kick.
- Add some diced jalapeños for a spicier version.
- Mix in some corn or black beans for added texture and flavor.
- For a healthier option, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and mayonnaise.
