Ingredients
- 8 ounces Whipped cream cheese
- 2 cups Prego Spicy Marinara Sauce
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Oregano
- 1½ cups Shredded cheese
- Crusty bread
Toppings
- Olives
- Green peppers
- Mushrooms
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Add the pizza sauce or marinara sauce to a bowl then whisk in the garlic powder and oregano.
- To a 9 inch pie plate or cast iron skillet add a layer of whipped cream cheese then add the marinara sauce for the second layer.
- For the third layer, add shredded cheese. Then add your favorite toppings like olives, mushrooms, green peppers and pepperoni.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Serve warm with crusty bread.
Notes
- Make sure the whipped cream cheese is at room temperature for the best cream cheese texture. This facilitates mixing and produces a smoother, creamier dip.
- Keep the seasoning in mind. The traditional pizza flavors are garlic powder and oregano, but you can taste as you go and tweak them to your liking. To add a little spice, you can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- For the layer of shredded cheese, pick a high-quality, low-moisture mozzarella cheese. It blends together smoothly and lends your dip its distinctive cheese flavor.
- For an even spread, use a dish that is the proper size for your dip. It could overflow during baking if it's too big, causing the layers to be too thin.
