Quick and Easy Pizza Dip
This is one of the most requested party dips that I make, Pizza Dip. It’s quick. It’s easy. You can make a double batch in one 9 x 13 pan. It’s vegetarian. Just a few ingredients and bake it up. My video doesn’t have the peppers. My daughter cannot have them.
It’s really that easy. Here’s the recipe.
This is an easy dip. It is SO tasty – who doesn’t love pizza, right? Great for game day or movie night. Also great when the kids bring over their friends. Keep the ingredients on had to whip this up anytime.

We always doubled this recipe and made it in a 9 x 13 stone baker or glass baking dish. Change the bake time to 25 minutes. Watch that the cheese doesn’t scorch.

Just a note about the breadsticks. The picture shows a very thin breadstick. It was the only ones we could find the day after Christmas. Try to get the thicker ones – like a fat pencil. Not the superfat ones. So, medium zied ones. We always used Garlic flavored. It just adds an Italian flavor.
I hope you enjoy this recipe. Make it for your next gathering. Oh, guys LOVE it, so the Superbowl would be a good time to try this out.
