PHILLY CHEESE STEAK DIP
This easy-to-make hot dip would make a handsome addition to your snack table for the Big Game. Like all great party foods, it's wonderful hot, warm, room temp, and, I've heard from a reliable source, even delicious cold. Serve alongside sliced baguette. Keep it hot and fresh for guests by baking it in 2 batches, or feel free to do this all at once in a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Steps:
- Slice steak into thick pieces. Season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a pan over high heat until smoking. Add steak slices and sear until bottoms are browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip over and reduce heat to medium. Cook until juices appear on the tops, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Add diced onion, a big pinch of salt, and butter to the meat juices in the pan. Cook and stir over medium heat, scraping up the browned bits, until onions start to soften, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Dice up the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, pepperoncini, pickled red peppers, and jalapenos until you have 1 1/2 to 2 cups. Add to the onions; cook and stir until starting to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Chop steak into small pieces. Place back into the bowl with the accumulated meat juices. Add the onion-pepper mixture and cream cheese. Grate in the provolone cheese, saving a little for the top. Drizzle in Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle in cayenne pepper. Mix dip thoroughly.
- Transfer 1/2 of the dip into a small baking dish. Smooth the top with a fork. Place baking dish on top of a sheet pan. Sprinkle the remaining provolone cheese on top. Save the other 1/2 to bake fresh for your guests.
- Bake in the preheated oven until dip is bubbling and heated through, 20 to 25 minutes. Broil until top is browned, about 1 minute more. Repeat with the second batch of dip.

Tips:
- For a crispier crust, use a pizza stone or baking sheet. Preheat the stone or sheet in the oven before baking the pizza.
- If you don't have a pizza stone or baking sheet, you can bake the pizza on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- To prevent the pizza from sticking, make sure the dough is well-floured before rolling it out.
- Don't overload the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy.
- Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Blue cheese pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer. With its creamy, tangy flavor, it's sure to be a hit at your next party. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give blue cheese pizza a try. You won't be disappointed.
