Spicy Baked Pizza Dip
I make this using my no-cook pizza sauce you may of coarse use you own favorite pizza sauce, this may be made a day in advance and refrigerated until ready to bake, feel free to use pepperoni in place of the spicy pork sausage or hot Italian sausage links with casings removed or you may use whatever you prefer!… serve hot or warm with tortilla chips
Servings 8
Ingredients:
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 large garlic clove, minced (can use more)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese cheese
1/2 to 3/4 cup prepared pizza sauce
3/4 cup spicy bulk pork sausage, cooked (such as Jimmy Dean’s Spicy Bulk Pork Sausage)
1 small green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2-4 tablespoon canned jalapeno peppers, or adjust to taste
chopped green onions
Instructions:—————————————–
Grease a 9 or 10-inch pie plate.
In a bowl combine the cream cheese with Italian seasoning and minced garlic, then spread into the bottom of the pie plate.
In a bowl combine the mozzarella cheese with the cheddar cheese, then sprinkle half over the cream cheese.
Using a spoon dollup the pizza sauce over the shredded cheese, then sprinkle the cooked sausage meat and bell peppers over the pizza sauce.
Top with remaining shredded cheeses and then the jalapeno peppers on the top.
At this point you may refrigerate for up to 1 day before baking.
Bake lowest oven rack in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 20-22 minutes (if baking from a cold state baking time may need to be increased slightly).
Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top of the baked dip, then serve hot or warm.
