Ooey, gooey, cheesy goodness baked with pepperoni is a warm dip that's like a slice of pizza on a chip! I don't think there's one thing about this dish that I don't love!

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese , room temp*
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 small can tomato sauce*
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 1 clove grated garlic
  • dash of red pepper
  • dash of salt
  • 1 cup chopped pepperoni
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese , halved

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream and ½ cup mozzarella cheese.
  • In a separate bowl, mix tomato sauce, herbs, salt and pepper.
  • Layer cheese mixture on the bottom of a baking dish or pie pan.
  • Spread tomato sauce over cheese mixture.
  • Sprinkle on chopped pepperoni.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until bubbly.
  • Top with reserved ½ cup mozzarella cheese and bake until cheese is melted.
  • Serve with corn chips or veggie sticks.

Notes

Bottled pizza sauce can be used if you have it on hand – I make my own since I always have tomato sauce in the pantry.
To bring refrigerated cream cheese to room temp, heat a mug/small bowl of water in microwave for 1 minute. Open cream cheese packet, cut into squares and place on a plate. Put cream cheese into microwave along with the hot water and close door. Leave in for 1 minute – DO NOT turn microwave on. Cream cheese should be soft enough to work with after 1 minute.

      Great recipe! Tasted like pepperoni, lasagna, dip. I did not have cream cheese, so I subbed a 5oz box of Boursin (Garlic Herb). Came out fine with a little extra mozz. Can’t wait for pandemic to be over and I can take it somewhere! Btw, love your first name! It has served me well.

        Have a wonderful day,
