Who doesn’t love a good dip? This Easy Pepperoni Pizza Dip is all about the flavors you love without the gluten you can’t have. The recipe only has a few ingredients but packs a ton of flavor.
Pepperoni Pizza Dip Recipe Tips
Soften the Cream Cheese – Softened Cream Cheese spreads much easier than cold cream cheese. To soften the cream cheese, take it out of the fridge for an hour or so before making the dip.
Quarter the Pepperoni Slices – While slices of pepperoni make the dip look more like pizza, every bite needs pepperoni in it. Cut the pepperoni into quarters or buy the mini pepperoni slices and cover the top with plenty of it.
Change up the Toppings – Make this dip like you would your favorite pizza and change up the toppings. Mushrooms, Onions, and Olives are just a few ideas.
Make the Dip Ahead of Time – Prepare the dip ahead of time without baking it. Keep it covered in the fridge for a day or so until needed. Then bake and enjoy.
Now that you have a great dip to try the hard part is deciding what you want to dip into it!
