Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/3 cup pizza / marinara sauce
6 oz. mozzarella cheese, grated
6 oz. cheddar cheese, grated
4 oz. pepperoni, sliced

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.

This is a great dip for a football party. If you don't like the spicy stuff, omit them. I have also used just red pepper flakes and added more pepperoni. Serve with baguettes or crackers
