#10DaysofTailgate: Pizza Dip





Do I really need to try to convince you to try this recipe?? It is a PERFECT dip to serve at any of your tailgate / football viewing parties! Cheesy comfort food at its absolute best. My son and I both LOVED this recipe. My mind was racing trying to think of other yummy ways to serve it. I think it would be great with everything spread / layered directly onto a half loaf of a baguette and toasted, then cut into wedges to eat just like a French bread pizza... mmm.... drool.... This has such a great combination of spicy and creamy with the tomato sauce balancing the cheesy factor so it's not too rich. Loved this and wouldn't change a thing! Just make sure to make LOTS of little garlic rounds - they go fast! :)

Pizza Dip from What Megan's Making

Ingredients
4-oz (half a brick) cream cheese, softened (room temp)
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1/2 tsp oregano
1 cup pizza (or spaghetti) sauce
15 - 20 slices of pepperoni

Garlic Toasts
1 thin loaf baguette
Butter
Garlic Powder
Italian Seasoning

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In an 8x8 baking dish combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, 1/2 cup mozzarella, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and oregano. Blend together and smooth out.
  3. Spread pizza sauce over top of cheese mixture, sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Layer pepperoni slices over the top.
  4. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until heated through and bubbling.
  5. Meanwhile, prep the garlic toasts by slicing the baguette into thin rounds. Place rounds on a cookie / baking sheet. Spread thinly with butter (or margarine) and then sprinkle lightly (to taste) with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Add the garlic toasts to the oven, alongside the dip, for the last 10 minutes of baking.
  6. Serve pizza dip with garlic toasts and enjoy!
