Supreme Pizza Dip

OH for the Love of Food & Booze

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

2 ½ cups Italian blend shredded cheese

2 teaspoons Italian herb seasoning

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¾ cup pizza sauce

10 to 12 pepperoni slices

⅓ cup cooked Italian sausage

3 tablespoons chopped bell pepper, any color

3 tablespoons sliced black olives

2 tablespoons chopped red onion

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a round 8 inch baking dish (or 9 inch pie pan) with non stick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese with 1 cup shredded cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine.

Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the bottom of the baking dish.

Then spread the pizza sauce over the cheese mixture.

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the pizza sauce to cover it.

Sprinkle the pepperonis, crumbled sausage, bell pepper, black olives, and onions over the entire surface of the dip.

Place the supreme pizza dip in the oven and bake for at least 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly around the edges.

Serve hot with crackers, pita chips, or veggies.

NOTE: You can slow cook Supreme Pizza Dip by preparing the recipe above in a slow cooker crock. (Make a double recipe for large oval crocks.) Cover the crock with a paper towel to catch the condensation, and cover tightly with the lid. Slow cook for 1 to 2 hours on high, or 2 to 3 hours on low, until all the layers are warm and soft, and the cheese has melted. Keep on warm.
