Pizza Dip

I made this recipe for Father's Day at my boyfriends house.  It went over pretty good.  It does taste just like pizza!  I did a few things differently but they worked out great!  This is a crock pot dip, so you just throw everything in the crock pot and let it cook!

Pizza Dip
Cook time: 1 1/2 to 2 hours

2 pkgs (8oz each) cream cheese, cubed
1 can (14oz) pizza sauce
1 pkg (8oz) sliced pepperoni, chopped
1 can (3.8oz) chopped ripe olives, drained
2 Cups (8oz) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Bagel chips or garlic toast

Place the cubed cream cheese in a 3 qt. slow cooker.  Combine the pizza sauce, pepperoni, and olives; pour over cream cheese.  Top with mozzarella cheese.  Cover and cook on low for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until cheese is melted.  Stir.  Serve with bagel chips or garlic toast.

Yields: 5 1/2 Cups

This is the picture of the dip before i stirred it all together.  You are seeing the sauce bubble up with the mozzarella cheese on top.

Since everyone does not have a love for black olives like I do, I did not add the black olives into the sauce and pepperoni mixture.  I just halved them and put them on the side.  I also chopped some onion and cooked it a little and put that on the side.  It turned out good and people could just add the toppings that they wanted.  You could also do this with any of your favorite pizza toppings to add some flavor and pizzazz to your pizza dip.  You could add them into the dip or just leave them on the side.  To dip with i got the garlic bagel chips and i also got a loaf of garlic bread.  I baked the bread like you normally would and then cut it into pieces.  People seemed to definitely enjoy the garlic bread the most and they could load it up with toppings!  I hope you enjoy!
