4 Layer Pizza Dip

From The Slow Roasted Italian

Serves 8

8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

1/2 cup sour cream

8 ounces shredded Italian cheese blend, divided

14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes

1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

9-12 slices of pepperoni

4 slices of cooked bacon, chopped

Preheat oven to 350o.

In a blender or a food processor combine tomatoes, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Blend until pureed. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream and 2 ounces of shredded Italian cheese. Mix until well combined. Spread cream cheese mixture in an even layer over baking dish (8 x 8 or a pie plate). Pour blended sauce over cream cheese mixture and evenly distribute with spatula.

Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese over pizza sauce. Top pizza dip with pepperoni and bacon. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until cheese is browned and bubbling.

~Timesaver...instead of pureeing the tomatoes, just use canned tomato sauce and mix the seasonings in with a spoon. Or if you are really in a hurry, just use already made pizza sauce.

I think you'll find that you'll need to double the bacon amount though
