Hot Pizza Dip
Recipe from this blog


INGREDIENTS:

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 2 tablespoons chopped green bell pepper
• 2 ounces pepperoni sausage, chopped
• 2 tablespoons sliced black olives

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven 350 degrees F. 
2. In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, oregano, parsley, basil, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
3. Spread mixture in the bottom of a 9 inch pie plate, or a shallow microwave-safe dish. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese on top of the cream cheese mixture. Spread the pizza sauce over all.
4. Microwave the pepperoni for about 30 seconds or heat in oven for just 2 minutes (just to soak up some of the fat and grease).  
5. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, then top with green pepper, pepperoni and olive slices. Cover, and microwave for 5 minutes or bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Serve hot with baguette slices, tortilla chips, or Fritos scoops.
