Aaah, Football Season....The time of year when I willingly destroy any progress I made over the summer, and resort happily back to my fat pants. I wake up each Sunday morning excited to mix and chop and arrange hors d'oeuvres for us to munch on all day! This weekend, chili's on the crock pot, brats are ready to be smoked, and I made Layered Pizza Dip...I can't hardly wait for the Bears game in a couple hours!
(This dip was inspired by BJs Pizza Dip, which we devoured last week during a working lunch.)
I started with Neufchatel Cheese at room temperature, spreading it over the bottom of a shallow glass baking dish. I sprinkled it with garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning.
Instead of using prepared pizza sauce, I used about 8 ounces of petite diced tomatoes for the second layer, and sprinkled with Kosher salt to taste. Then came shredded Mozzarella cheese, chopped pepperoni, and a sprinkling of more Mozzarella on top.
So easy! I'll bake this at 350 degrees F until melted and bubbly, I think it'll take about 30 minutes. Serve with crackers or toasted French bread.
Hooray for Football, Pizza Dip, and the pounds sure to follow!
