Are you getting excited about the Big Game? Is your favorite team still in the running? My team is! So I am planning our Super Bowl party.

How to Make Pizza Dip

At every Big Game party, a large portion of those gathered are there for the food and commercials. They might not admit it out loud, but it is true, so I do not want to disappoint them. This year I will be adding a Layered Hot Pizza Dip to the appetizer buffet.
Ingredients for Pizza Dip Recipe

Instead of putting all of the pizza toppings on top, I place them in layers in the dip.

The first layer is cream cheese that is blended with, mozzarella cheese, green onions, and garlic. Then I add diced tomatoes and bell pepper.
After adding the pizza sauce, you add more layers to the pizza dip recipe

I spoon the pizza sauce over the tomatoes and peppers and then I add layers of sliced green onions, diced mushrooms, and pepperoni.

Then I add cheese, pepperoni slices, and sprinkle a few green onion slices on top and the pizza dip is ready to go in the oven.

After 15 minutes in the oven, the Hot Pizza Dip is ready to add to the appetizer buffet. If you have a large crowd, you may want to make 2 or double the recipe and put it in a casserole dish because it will go fast once it hits the buffet.

    Seriously drooling over this. What a great way to have pizza, without actually buying or having to make pizza. It’s always so hard coming up with new ideas for a Big Game party so I appreciate the ideas.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
