Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 (8 ounce) cream cheese softened, package
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese divided, grated
  • 1 lb. Italian sausage casings removed
  • ½ cup onion diced
  • 8 ounces mushroom sliced
  • 1 (25 ounce) marinara sauce jar
  • 1 cup pepperoni mini or chopped
  • bagel chips for serving, sliced baguette rounds
  • Pita chips
  • tortilla chips
  • baguette

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, brown sausage, mushrooms, and onion over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Drain off excess grease.
  3. 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.
  4. Top first layer of cream cheese with ½ of the marinara sauce.
  5. Top the marinara with ½ of the sausage mixture. Sprinkle ½ of the pepperoni on top.
  6. Repeat layers.
  7. Top with an additional 1 cup of mozzarella and additional pepperoni, if desired.
  8. 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.
