Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large skillet, brown sausage, mushrooms, and onion over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Drain off excess grease.
- In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, Parmesan, and 1 cup mozzarella. Spread ½ of the cream cheese mixture onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Top first layer of cream cheese with ½ of the marinara sauce.
- Top the marinara with ½ of the sausage mixture. Sprinkle ½ of the pepperoni on top.
- Repeat layers.
- Top with an additional 1 cup of mozzarella and additional pepperoni, if desired.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- For convenience, look for bulk Italian sausage. This way you don't have to remove the casings from the sausage on your own.
- For another shortcut, look for a container of sliced mushrooms and use frozen pre-diced onion. You won't even have to pull out your cutting board!
- I prefer mini pepperoni, since I don't have to chop it before adding it to the dip. You can substitute with chopped pepperoni or turkey pepperoni as well.
- Bake the dip on top of a baking sheet in case any bubbles over. This makes cleanup easy.
- Use full-fat block-style cream cheese for the best texture.
