Pizza Dip brings together everything you love about pizza – ooey gooey cheese, delicious sauce, and fabulous toppings!
It’s Super Bowl week and in many households it means two things…. food… and football. I can’t tell you a whole lot about football (aside from the fact that I’m a happy woman to see that the Packers AREN’T in the game this year), but I can give you a few hints about foods you’ll want to bring to the party! This week I’ll be sharing a few of my favorite recipes that pair together perfectly with a Super Bowl game.
Let’s start with this cheesy warm pizza dip! Oh is it delicious. All of your favorite flavors of pizza come together to make this dip a sure crowd pleaser. I have yet to meet a person who turns down pizza and who doesn’t love a good dip? Creamy cream cheese and a bit of sour cream get combined with freshly shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, and a hint of Italian seasonings for the first layer of the dip. The pizza sauce of your choice comes next for the second layer, then comes more cheese. Finally, this masterpiece is topped with all of your favorite pizza toppings and baked until warm and bubbly.
Whether or not you plan on watching the game, it is definitely worth your while to try this Pizza Dip, especially if you toast up some fresh baguette to go along with it.
