Layered Hot Pizza Dip

This layered hot pizza dip recipe with pepperonis is always a hit at parties!

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.


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.


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.
