Introduction

The Cheesy Hissy Fit Dip is a Southern-inspired crowd-pleaser that earned its playful name because it’s so irresistibly delicious, people might just “throw a hissy fit” if it runs out! In this variation, we add seasoned ground beef for extra heartiness, making it perfect for game day or a cozy night in. Gooey melted cheese, creamy sour cream, savory beef, and a touch of spice come together for a dip that’s impossible to stop eating.

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
• 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
• 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp preferred)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup Velveeta cheese, cubed
• 1/4 cup diced green onions (plus more for garnish)
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
• Salt & black pepper, to taste
• Crackers, chips, or toasted bread for serving

Instructions

1. Cook the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess grease. Stir in ranch seasoning mix and Worcestershire sauce; cook for another 1–2 minutes. Set aside.
2. Make the cheese base: In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar, mozzarella, Velveeta, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne. Mix until well blended.
3. Combine everything: Add the cooked beef and green onions to the cheese mixture. Stir until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust salt/pepper if needed.
4. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the mixture evenly into a greased baking dish (about 9×9-inch or similar). Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly.
5. Serve: Garnish with extra green onions and serve warm with chips, crackers, or toasted baguette slices.
