Pizza Dip – Getting Ready for a Holiday Party

Oh so yummy, Pizza Dip!

Hi Readers! I have a special delicious recipe to share with you, it’s perfect for this time of year too. With the holiday season upon us, that means loads of family gatherings and lots of different foods. I don’t know if your family is anything like my family, but we usually bring some sort of dish to pass. This pizza dip is the perfect complement to your already full, table of goodies. It’s low in ingredients, super easy to throw together and absolutely, yummy in my tummy.

Alright, enough talk – on with the Pizza Dip!

What you’ll need…

1 brick of cream cheese

1/3 c chopped white onion

1 jar pizza sauce (I personally love Ragu’s traditional pizza sauce)

1 bag of mozzarella cheese

1 bag of pepperoni (but you’ll only use a handful for the recipe)

1 small can of black olives

1 pie plate

Now here’s the easy part:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Take your pie plate and smoosh the brick of cream cheese into the bottom of it so that it covers the entire dish. This is easier when the cream cheese is a warmed up on the counter a bit, but will work fine even if it’s cold. Once you’ve flattened out the cream cheese in the pan, you’ll spread your 1/3 c of chopped white onion, trying to spread evenly across.  Next up, is the pizza sauce. Dump a little out on top of the cream cheese and onion and then smooth across the top. Sprinkle on the mozzarella cheese. I don’t have a set amount, I simply put it on until it’s covered. Then place the pepperoni and olives on top (feel free to experiment with your toppings).

Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.

Serve with chunks of crusty bread or crunchy crackers.

Alright, so I’m not so great at staging food, but I’m telling you, this is amazing!

Your turn!
