Pizza Dips

As you may or may not know, I could spend my entire life eating dips and appetizers and be one happy girl. I have quite a few favorite go-to recipes that people know me for. Shout out to Kaitlin Gurganus and Jen Esh for introducing to these pizza dips. They are both phenomenal (people and recipes!)

White Pizza Dip

Ingredients

-1.5 envelopes of Lipton Recipe Secrets Savory Herb & Garlic (hard to find but Walmart has it!)

-16 oz. Sour Cream

-16 oz. Ricotta Cheese

-2 cups shredded Mozzarella Cheese

-1/2 cup chopped pepperoni slices

-1 loaf Italian Bread (for dipping) or Tortilla chips

Directions

1. In a casserole dish, combine soup mix, sour cream, ricotta cheese, 1 cup of motz cheese, and pepperoni.

2. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese on top.

3. Bake at 350* uncovered for 30 minutes.

4. Enjoy with freshly cut bread or tortilla chips. It can also be made in the crock pot on high for 1.5-2 hours! I usually make it in the oven then transfer it to crock pot if I am in a hurry :)
