To Die For Pizza Dip / Call Me PMc

To Die For Pizza Dip
I love pizza. I decided once to see how many days in a row I could eat pizza before I got tired of it. Little did I know then that after you have kids you do this out of necessity not as a challenge. Nowadays, my boys want pizza, or chicken strips, every meal. Anywho…I made it fourteen days!
I never thought I’d eat pizza again!

But, I love it. And it didn’t take long before I wanted it again. I like home-made,  frozen, thick crust, thin crust, cheese, fully loaded; I like it all. When I saw this Pizza Dip on Pinterest I knew at some point I’d have to make and try it. It is just as good as it sounds.
I made this for little people, therefore, I kept the toppings simple this time.
Combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, mozzarella, parmesan, garlic, red pepper, and onion
Top cheese mixture with pizza sauce and your preferred toppings
Finish with a sprinkling of cheese


Pizza Dip
Ingredients:
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese, room temp
1 c mayonnaise
1 c mozzarella cheese, shredded + 1 c for topping
1/4 c fresh parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
1/4 c sweet onion, diced (I prefer Vidalia)
1 c pizza sauce
Your favorite pizza toppings, for example: pepperoni, cooked sausage, black olives, green onions, mushrooms, bell pepper, bacon
Directions: 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, mozzarella, parmesan, garlic powder, ground red pepper, and sweet onion. Stir well. Spread mixture in the bottom of a 10 to 12 inch oven proof pan. Pour the pizza sauce over the cream cheese mixture and spread evenly. Scatter your choice of toppings over sauce then top with 1 c mozzarella cheese. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until hot, bubbly and golden.

Serve with chunks of Italian bread. I like to toast the bread in the oven while the dip is baking. Just place chunks or slices of bread on a cookie sheet and bake 10 to 15 minutes until crispy. Turn bread half way through to toast both sides evenly.
