Assembly Directions:
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese,
sour cream, garlic powder and oregano. Spread the
mixture in a 9” glass pie plate. Spread the pizza
sauce over the cream cheese mixture. Evenly sprinkle
the pepperoni, onion and pepper on top of the pizza
sauce. Bake at 350 degrees for 18 minutes. Remove
from the oven and set aside to cool.
Freezing Directions:
Cover the top of the cooled pie plate with wax paper
or plastic wrap. Then cover the whole dish in foil.
Or, put the covered plate in a one- or two-gallon
freezer bag. Put the mozzarella cheese in a
one-quart freezer bag. Seal, label and freeze.
Serving Directions:
Thaw dish and bag of mozzarella cheese at least
overnight in the refrigerator. Heat dish in the oven
at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven,
sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top, and return to
the oven for 8-10 minutes. Serve hot with tortilla
chips for dipping.
Tammy’s Comments:
This dish is a great appetizer, but my kids and I
could easily eat it for a meal! Tortilla chips are
the “dippers” of choice at my house, but you could
also use bread sticks or crackers. Or even pizza
veggies… broccoli florets, mushroom halves, green
pepper strips, etc.
The dip looks nice layered in the pan, but if
freezer space was at a premium, you could use a
freezer bag instead. Steam the onion and pepper
pieces in a small amount of water in a covered
container in the microwave for 2 minutes. Mix all of
the ingredients except the mozzarella cheese
together, put it in a freezer bag or rigid container
and freeze. Freeze the mozzarella cheese in a
separate one-quart freezer bag. Thaw, put in a pie
plate and bake as above. Maybe not as pretty, but it
still tastes delicious!
