LAUREN SMITH COOKING

I love football Sundays. It gives me the excuse to hang out in my sweatpants and indulge in my favorite comfort foods. Even though you may not like football…I know you love cheese..and pizza..and yummy goodness. Voila….pizza dip. It is so delicious and requires minimal effort..the best of both worlds. I’ve been making this dip for a while now. In fact, it was one of the first recipes that I posted on this blog.

Ingredients:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 2 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cups grated cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup fresh parmesan cheese
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• pepperoni slices  
• tortilla chips 
• french bread

Recipe: 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix cream cheese, oregano, basil, cheddar cheese and half of the mozzarella cheese.
3. Spread cream cheese mixture into casserole dish, and top with tomato sauce. 
4. Sprinkle remaining cheeses followed by pepperoni.
5. Bake for 20 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is browned.
6. Serve with tortilla chips and chopped bread.
