Pepperoni Dip

This hot and cheesy Pepperoni Dip is one of my favorite appetizers to serve at a party.

I first had this dip when my husband’s cousin brought it to our beach house for a happy hour party.  It was love at first bite.  It’s so good!  I immediately asked the cousin for the recipe.  She happily shared it. This dip is terribly gooey, cheesy and totally addicting. It’s perfect for a football party.  It’s a hit at every kind of party, in fact!  You will find that it’s the first appetizer to get gobbled up.

✏️ How to make Pepperoni Dip:

*The complete, printable recipe is in the recipe card at the end of this post.

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a small bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, and oregano. Spread the cream cheese mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the cream cheese mixture. Arrange the pepperoni, onion and green bell pepper over the sauce.
3. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle cheese on top. Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted and bubbly.
4. Serve with sturdy tortilla or corn chips.

➡️ Tips and Substitutions:

• I like the Fritos scoops chips with this one. 
• Substitute sausage for the pepperoni, if you’d like.
• It’s okay to use reduced-fat cream cheese.
• Make homemade pizza sauce!

❤️ What I Love About This Recipe:

1. It’s pizza in dip form. Delicious!
2. I love that you can change up the protein (pepperoni) to whatever you desire. Anything will work. You can even make it vegetarian.
3. It receives lots of raves at a party!
