8 oz. Cream Cheese (softened)
¾ cup Sour Cream (can sub mayo)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon Oregano
½ teaspoon Basil

1 ¼ cups Mozzarella Cheese
15 slices Pepperoni

Combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Ideally, the sour cream shouldn't be cold when it goes into the oven to maintain a smooth consistency. Spread on the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate, baking pan, or cast iron skillet.
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce on top, then add the Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese.
Add pepperoni or desired pizza toppings.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

8 ounces brick-style cream cheese, very well-softened (lite is okay)
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese, divided (3/4 cup + 3/4 cup)
1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese, divided (1/2 cup + 1/2 cup)
1 heaping cup pizza sauce (or your favorite marinara or red sauce)
about 15 pepperoni slices, or as needed to cover surface of pie dish

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 9-inch pie dish (I used a glass Pyrex) with cooking spray.
Using a spatula or butter knife, evenly spread the cream cheese over the base of pie dish. It'll slide around a bit and it doesn't have to be perfect, but it's so much easier if your cream cheese is very well-softened.
Evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup mozzarella over cream cheese.
Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup parmesan.
Evenly add the pizza sauce to cover cheese and if necessary, gently spread it with a spatula or knife to evenly disperse.
Evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup mozzarella over sauce.
Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup parmesan.
Evenly top with pepperoni slices.
Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes (I baked 23 minutes), or until cheese has melted and dip is done to your liking. Allow dip to cool momentarily before serving.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

8 ounce pkg cream cheese, softened
1/2 c sour cream
1 tsp crushed dried oregano
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/2 c pizza sauce
3/4 c chopped pepperoni
1/4 c sliced scallion
1/4 c chopped green pepper
3/4 c shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

1. In a small mixing bowl beat cream cheese, sour cream, oregano, red pepper and garlic powder. Spread evenly in a 9 inch pie plate (preferably glass or stoneware). Spread pizza sauce on top. Then sprinkle pepperoni, green scallion, and green pepper. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.
2. Top with cheese; then bake for 5 minutes more or until cheese is melted and mixture is bubbling lightly and heated through. Serve with Ritz crackers.

Tips:

Use a variety of cheeses for a more flavorful dip. Experiment with different types, such as mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, and Asiago.
Add some cooked meat or vegetables to the dip for extra protein and nutrition. Good options include pepperoni, sausage, bacon, onions, and bell peppers.
Use a food processor or blender to make the dip smooth and creamy. This will also help to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Serve the dip warm with your favorite dipping items, such as breadsticks, chips, or vegetables.
If you're making the dip ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat it in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
