Layered Pizza Dip – layers of cream cheese, pizza sauce, pepperoni, and 2 kinds of cheese! Perfect for football season!
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.
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.
Layered Pizza Dip!
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!
- 1 8-ounce container cream cheese with chives and onions
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup small pepperoni or big ones, diced
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
-
Preheat oven to 350F.
-
In an ungreased 9-inch pie plate or similar dish, layer all ingredients in order listed.
-
Bake for 10 - 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and dip is bubbly.
-
Serve hot with crackers, bagel chips, or tiny toast pieces!

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 :)
