Supreme Pizza Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a round 8 inch baking dish (or 9 inch pie pan) with non stick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese with 1 cup shredded cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the bottom of the baking dish. Then spread the pizza sauce over the cheese mixture. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the pizza sauce to cover it. Sprinkle the pepperonis, crumbled sausage, bell pepper, black olives, and onions over the entire surface of the dip. Place the supreme pizza dip in the oven and bake for at least 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly around the edges. Serve hot with crackers, pita chips, or veggies. NOTE: You can slow cook Supreme Pizza Dip by preparing the recipe above in a slow cooker crock. (Make a double recipe for large oval crocks.) Cover the crock with a paper towel to catch the condensation, and cover tightly with the lid. Slow cook for 1-2 hours on high, or 2-3 hours on low, until all the layers are warm and soft, and the cheese has melted. Keep on warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Dice 3 ounces of the pepperoni. Thinly slice the remaining 1 ounce and set it aside to garnish the dip.
• Heat a medium cast-iron or ovenproof skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the diced pepperoni and cook, stirring, until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onions, bell pepper, minced garlic, oregano, 3/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Continue to cook, stirring, until the onions are very tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until it coats the vegetables and smells lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes with their juice from the can. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in the olives and Parmesan and remove from the heat. Season with additional salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, toss the baguette slices with the oil and spread in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until lightly toasted and crisp, 7 to 9 minutes. Rub the slices with the whole garlic clove and set aside to cool.
• Preheat the broiler. Scatter the mozzarella and reserved sliced pepperoni over the dip in the skillet. Place the skillet under the broiler and broil until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the dip warm with the garlic toasts on the side.

Transfer to two greased 12-in. pizza pans; build up edges slightly. , Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Spread with sauce; sprinkle with toppings. Bake until cheese is melted, 15-20 minutes longer.
