Canola oil for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Melissa's Hot Hatch Chile Powder

Heat the oil to 375ºF.
In a bowl, combine the dip mix and the sour cream and refrigerate.
In another bowl, combine the sausage and the next 2 ingredients.
Carefully stuff the olives with the sausage mixture.
Place the flour and mix in the Hatch Chile powder on a tray and the eggs in a bowl.
Place the bread crumbs on another tray and mix in the Hatch Chile Powder.
