Why I Think You’ll Love This Recipe!
Pizza Dip
This meat lover’s pizza has all of the flavors of pizza but without the dough or any of the immense amount of cleaning up to do afterward! The cream cheese base gives it a delicious tang and the pizza sauce and meats bake up to a cheesy, hot pizza topping.
Try Other Types Of Cheese
This recipe uses more traditional pizza cheeses, but you can experiment with different types of cheese.
Try smoked gouda for a smokey flavor that matches well with meats, goat cheese that pairs well with vegetables with a vegetarian pizza dip, or even a Jalapeno Jack cheese for spice!
Different Topping Ideas
- Mushrooms: Slice the mushrooms into thin pieces and fry them in a little butter until they are cooked, then add them to the top of the dip before baking.
- Fried Onions: Dice the onions, fry them in a little butter until they are soft and translucent, and then add them to the top of the dip before baking.
- Shredded Chicken: This is a great way to use any chicken you might have leftover from roasts or other dishes. Freeze any chicken leftovers you have and then defrost them for this recipe!
