Hot Pizza Dip


I made this for my book club on Friday night and it was delicious. It is from allrecipes.com (they have great recipes!!)  It is like.... pizza on a chip!! Literally. I also took some to a birthday party last night and it was a hit... again. So if you like pizza, you will LOVE this. Just try it, I promise it will not disappoint you. This recipe called for onions and bell peppers but I opted for green onion and no bell pepper. So add whatever pizza toppings you like. Also, mix the cream cheese mixture (with dried ingredients) a day or 2 earlier so the spices can set in.

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 t dried oregano
1/2 t dried parsley
1/2 t dried basil
a pinch of Italian seasoning
a dash of garlic powder
1 c shredded mozzarella cheese
1 c shredded Parmesan cheese
1 cup of pizza sauce (I bought the small jar and used the whole thing... It's about 1 1/2 c)
2 oz pepperoni, chopped
2 T black olives, sliced (I used a small can)
1-2 stalks of green onion, chopped

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and spices. Spread the mixture in a 9 in dish. Sprinkle 1/2 c of mozzarella and 1/2 c of Parmesan cheese over cream cheese. Spread the pizza sauce over cheese. Add remaining cheese then top with pizza toppings. Cover, microwave for 5 minutes or bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Serve hot with bread sticks or tortilla chips.
