Ingredients
- 2-8 oz packages of cream cheese, soft
- 1 cup of mayonnaise
- 1 cup of mozzarella cheese + 1.5 cups for topping dip
- 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons of green onion
- 1 cup of pizza sauce or marinara (you can use less, we just like the sauce)
- toppings: pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, red onion, hamburger, bell pepper, bacon, etc…
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350.
In a medium bowl, combine soft cream cheese, mayonnaise, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, green onions and the parmesan cheese. Stir well.
I use a round stone ware oven proof pan to cook my dips in. It measures 12 inches across. The smaller the pan the thicker the dip, the larger the pan would result in a thinner cream cheese base. I have made both and they are both delicious. The thicker dip may require a few more minutes to cook.
Spread the cheese mixture in the bottom of the pan first.
Spread the pizza sauce next.
Sprinkle the cheese over the sauce.
Decide on your toppings and scatter those around the top of the cheese.
Bake your dip for 25 minutes or until bubbly.
Serve with chunks of french bread.
This dip is very hot when it comes out of the oven. Please be careful. The cheese makes it stringy and gooey.
Serve with Frito scoops.
