Easy Pizza Dip

Pizza. It’s everyone’s favorite food. Especially for game days, family-friendly weeknight dinners, and those must-have-cheese-now situations. If you’re a cheese lover or a pizza fan you’re going to love this crust-less pizza dip.

If you’re a fan of doctored up pizza (my family isn’t), feel free to add black olives, sausage, bell peppers, pineapple, or your favorite toppings. After everyone digs into the warm, gooey, bowl of comfort, all this cheesy goodness will be gone in no time.

INGREDIENTS:

• 8 ounces brick-style cream cheese, very well-softened (lite is okay)
• 1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese, divided (3/4 cup + 3/4 cup)
• 1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese, divided (1/2 cup + 1/2 cup)
• 1 heaping cup pizza sauce (or your favorite marinara or red sauce)
• about 15 pepperoni slices, or as needed to cover surface of pie dish

Serving Suggestions – toasted French bread or baugettes, breadsticks, garlic toasts, pita chips, bagel chips, crackers, or eat by the spoonful

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 9-inch pie dish (I used a glass Pyrex) with cooking spray.
2. Using a spatula or butter knife, evenly spread the cream cheese over the base of pie dish. It’ll slide around a bit and it doesn’t have to be perfect, but it’s so much easier if your cream cheese is very well-softened.
