This pepperoni pizza dip is an easy appetizer and always a big hit with the kids!
Let me introduce you to something so delicious you may cry. Or laugh hysterically. I usually do both, but you know, I just love food so much. It’s called pepperoni pizza dip at my house and it’s a big hit with everyone, especially when my kids bring friends home. They think I’m the coolest ever. True story. 🙂 So here’s the recipe!
Pepperoni Pizza Dip
Here’s how you make them. First, gather up your ingredients.
You will beat together the softened cream cheese, pizza sauce, garlic, oregano, and pepper until smooth.
Fold in half of the mozzarella cheese and all of the parmesan cheese, then set aside.
Then you will roll out your pizza dough onto a floured surface. Cut in half longways, and then cut the opposite way to make 10 equal sized strips.
Gently fold each strip into a single loose knot, and arrange around the edge of a pie pan, leaving 1/2 inch of space between each one.
Scoop your cheese mixture and drop into the middle of your pie pan, fully covering the bottom and filling to the top.
Sprinkle the rest of your cheese on top, and arrange pepperoni’s on top of that. Brush a little bit of butter on your dough, then bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Serve warm. Oooooh, these are so good.
