Pizza Dip Recipe

By traciesparks

Everybody loves this simple dip," relates Sara Nowacki from Franklin, Wisconsin. "If you have any left over, spoon it on toasted English muffins for a great open-faced sandwich," she adds.

OMG how delicious!! Tried it out on my family and they raved about it and I will be making it again for others now that I know how good it is..Easy to make and just be sure you leave it in the crockpot long enough to get nice and hot and melt the cheese good. I would say at least the full 2 hours.

This dip is so tasty and easy to make! It disappears very quickly every time I make it. We like to use tortilla chips since they are cheaper than bagel chips. Some family even like to spread it on bread to make a nice pizza dip sandwich. However, we're not big olive fans, so I leave them out..still great!!
