Pizza Dip Recipe
Description
The Pizza Dip starts with a smooth base of cream cheese and sour cream, seasoned with oregano, black pepper, and salt to mimic classic pizza flavors. Pizza sauce spreads evenly on top, followed by mozzarella cheese and cooked pizza meats such as pepperoni, sausage, ham, or bacon. Baking at moderate heat melts the cheese and blends the layers into a hot, comforting dip.
This dip works well as an appetizer or party snack accompanied by crackers, breadsticks, or pita chips. The creamy cheese base contrasts with the tangy tomato sauce and savory toppings for balanced flavor and texture.
The recipe can be adapted for slow cooking by layering components in a crockpot and cooking on low. It also benefits from prep-ahead refrigeration before baking. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for several days or frozen for longer storage.
Ingredients
- 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 (14-ounce) jar pizza sauce
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
Toppings
- pepperoni cooked
- sausage
- ham
- Bacon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, oregano, pepper, and salt. Mix until smooth and pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Spread pizza sauce over cream cheese mixture. Top with mozzarella and any other desired toppings and bake for 23–25 minutes, or until bubbly.
- Serve with crackers, breadsticks, or pita chips.
Notes
- For crockpot preparation, crisp pepperoni separately, layer cream cheese mixture, pizza sauce, cheese, and pepperoni in the crockpot, and cook on low for at least one hour.
- You can assemble the dip in advance and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking; allow it to sit at room temperature about 20 minutes before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for 4-6 weeks.
