Steps:
- Soften the cream cheese for 30 minutes on the countertop for easy combining.
- While the cream cheese softens, prep your ingredients. Shred the cheese, slice the pepperoni into smaller bite-sized pieces so it's easier to eat.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Get out your 9" pie plate (or your glass Pyrex dish) and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Using a hand mixer, whip the cream cheese, sour cream, oregano and Italian seasoning together.
- Spread the cream cheese on the bottom of your pie plate using a rubber spatula.
- Ladle on the pizza sauce evenly over the cream cheese, and spread.
- Sprinkle about half of the pepperoni over the top of the cream cheese and sauce.
- Combine the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses and sprinkle them over the pepperoni to create the next layer.
- Place the remaining pepperoni pieces on the top of the cheese. You could leave some whole pepperonis on top of the dip for visual effect, but I left them off mine since our pepperoni was really large.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is bubbly, and the pepperoni is cooked.
- Serve immediately with bread, chips, veggie slices or breadsticks, and enjoy.
