Pizza Dip

Super Easy, Super Fast

Pizza Dip

This week is the big move at our house, so needless to say very little has been coming out of my kitchen.  However, Saturday was game day and I needed to think of something that I could make that would be quick and easy, while also meeting the game day stamp of approval from my husband.  I decided that I would make a pizza dip rather than make dough and pull an entire pizza together.  This took me no time, in fact I would recommend it if you have somewhere to go but very little time to pull something together.  It was warm and delicious - both on game day as well as reheated the next day.  I served it with garlic toast slices, but it would be great with just crackers - which is how we had it as a left over.  If your family is a fan of pizza I think this would be a great dip to try for your next event.

Here's how I made it:

Ingredients:
1 brick of room temp cream cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Pepperoni Slices
1 - 16 oz package of mozzarella cheese
left over marinara sauce (or if you wanted a half jar of premade marinara sauce or pizza sauce)

Preheat your oven to 350.  In your mixer, cream your cream cheese, Parmesan cheese and mayonnaise.  Then spray a 9 inch pie dish and put your mixture across the bottom of the dish.  I then used two ladles of left over marinara sauce and poured it over the cream cheese mixture as a second level.  Finally, top with the cheese.  I added pepperoni because that is what my family enjoys, however you could add any pizza topping your family loves.  Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until bubbly and your cheese begins to golden.  Serve warm with bread, garlic toast, or crackers.

Enjoy!
