Baked Pepperoni Pizza Dip

Four ingredients is all it takes to make the most delicious hot baked pepperoni pizza dip. This recipe has  been a family favorite for so many years. Give it a try, I’m sure everyone you make this for will love it too!

I love easy-peasy recipes and this one is sure on the top of my list for easy and few ingredients. If you like a cheesy slice of pizza, you are sure to love this warm from the oven pizza dip. Even better, pepperoni pizza dip. We have this for most gatherings as well as any game day when the whole family is together. I have brought this to potluck dinners and even doubled, tripled for larger parties. You wouldn’t think of having a warm dip at a barbecue but, this dish is the most requested from friends even on a hot summer evening. We eat pizza when it’s hot outside, why not pizza dip?

The next time you want to make a fun and scrumptious appetizer for friends when they pop over or for your own family, make this pizza dip. We like having this for dinner some days. I serve the dip with a large salad and it’s delicious dinner my whole family enjoys. When it was my son Josh’s birthday one year, he asked me to make this for his birthday dinner, I did along with a few more fun appetizers like these Mini Potato Skins and Baked Corn Flake Chicken Tenders Now doesn’t that sound like a yummy birthday dinner to you?  It was for all of us.

You probably have everything you need sitting in your fridge. So, grab those four ingredients and bake one of these beauties up!

Just some suggestions for dipping. Like you see in the photos, we had a nice crusty Italian bread cut into nice thick pieces. Also, larger size crackers and large tortilla chips taste really good with this dip. I like to dip baby carrots, celery sticks, and all different colored sliced peppers. The contrast of the cold veggies and the hot dip really taste great together.
