Pizza Dip

Warning: This recipe is NOT healthy. I recommend stopping here right now if you are concerned about your health before I begin saying how delicious this dip is. 

I found this dip on Pinterest a while back, but I refrained from making it due to 1. the ingredients are not healthy and 2. three of the major ingredients in this recipe I do not like. However, my husband is pizza obsessed and had to work for 33 hours straight so I thought it'd be nice to surprise him with something pizza-like for dinner, and we are both happy that I did. 

To start, you are mixing together cream cheese, mayo, and sour cream. I am not a fan of what I call the "white toppings" (although I am slowly warming up to cream cheese)so I thought this dip would turn out to be a disaster. The blend of these ingredients smothered in cheese and doused in pizza sauce made their individual tastes unidentifiable, in other words, TASTY! It was so surprisingly mouthwatering that I felt the need to share this recipe with everyone I know.

The only tips I can offer would be 1. adapt the toppings to your own taste preference (duh), double (or even triple) the recipe if you are serving a group, and serve the dip with warm bread, bruschetta, tortilla chips, or any starchy dough-like substitute. 

Okay, enough chit chat, let's get to cooking this amazing dish!

Pizza Dip

Ingredients:
4 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream

1. Preheat the over to 350 degrees. Mix together cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, 1/2 cup of mozzarella, and the parmesan. Spread mixture at the bottom of a casserole dish or pie plate. 

2. Layer on the pizza sauce, followed by the rest of the mozzarella. Top with your favorite pizza toppings. 

3. Bake until cheese starts bubbling and browning, about 20 minutes. Serve with your favorite side to dip.
