Layered Pizza Dip
August 31, 2012 in appetizer

This weekend is the best weekend of the year. No, my husband is not coming home. More important y’all.
College football, obviously.
It’s kind of sad since my husband isn’t home and all but lucky for him, his absence has made me more sympathetic to the Alabama cause. See, he is an Alabama fan and I am an LSU fan and since those 2 are typically the best teams, college football discussions get pretty heated. Last year he was in the field during the Alabama/LSU game so I did this to the baby and sent him pictures:

Amazingly, we are still married.
Like I said though, somehow I’m becoming more of an Alabama fan without him here to harass. Last week I impulse bought a houndstooth scarf and didn’t even realize what I’d done until I was out in the parking lot. Something is obviously very wrong with me and I hope to get over whatever sickness this is before he comes home.
But anyway, this is also my favorite time of year because I get to make (and blog!) a ton of fun appetizers! So get excited! Lots of football food coming your way in the coming months!
This is a real simple appetizer that is always a crowd-pleaser. It’s a dip that’s layered with onion and chive cream cheese, pizza sauce, pepperoni, and cheese. You can, of course, add whatever you like – peppers, mushrooms, Parmesan, sausage, pretty much anything goes!
One last thing: y’all remember when I did that leftover makeover? Well BlogHer has a fabulous Pinterest board filled with leftover makeovers (including mine!) that you should definitely check out. Lots of good things happening over there! Go find dinner inspiration!

lol poor baby ;) Seems everyone is excited for football (I almost typed foodball ha now that sounds great). I could totally get behind some cheesy pepperoni dip (minus the sauce of course) ;)
I am not a huge football fan. But what I do love is the food. This dip sounds awesome!
Awww!! Hope you get to see your husband soon! Your baby is freaking cute!! Love the dip recipe.
I, too, am a football fanatic! Univeristy of Michigan (GO BLUE!) And we play ‘Bama this weekend. We’re favored, but no matter what, this dip is a winner! Thanks!
we are more into NFL instead of college football but regardless, it’s a great excuse for lots of appetizer-filled meals on the couch :)
Jason isn’t much of a football fan but basketball season is coming up so I’ll be sure to make this then! :)
I love these kinds of dips, so perfect for college gameday!
We are total SEC rivals girl! I love it! :) And I seriously love this dip. I would happily sit on my couch eating this while watching the game and drinking a beer ;)
