Hot Pizza Dip
Superbowl* or no Superbowl, this recipe's a winner. I've hauled this dish to many a party, and it's always popular. It's usually far more popular than whatever drivel is on TV, but HEY. That's food for ya. A real show-stealer.You'll see that this dip has a few tablespoons of green pepper and onion, so there ya go! VEGETABLES! Which, sadly enough, will likely make it the most nutritious plate at the party.
I recommend making at least a double batch of this. It's that good.
Hot Pizza Dip
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
8 ounces pizza sauce
2 tablespoons green pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons green onion, thinly sliced
Breadsticks or tortilla chips
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and Italian seasoning. Spread in an ungreased 9" microwave-safe pie plate (or square glass dish). Combine mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses; sprinkle half over the cream cheese. Top with the pizza sauce, remaining cheese mixture, green pepper and onion. When ready to serve, microwave, uncovered, on high for 3-4 minutes or until cheese is almost melted, rotating a half turn several times. Let stand for 1-2 minutes. Serve with breadsticks or tortilla chips.
*Don't let my use of the word "Superbowl" convince you that I know A THING about professional sports. I had to look for the date of the Superbowl UP ON GOOGLE before I created this post.
And those Steelers' shirts? Were Christmas gifts from the in-laws. We wear them when we read the dictionary at home.

I was hoping someone would post a Superbowl appetizer! We're invited to a party and have to bring something to contribute. I don't know nuthin' about football, but I want to bring some food that's a big hit. This sounds like it'll do it!
Remind me again who's playing on Sunday?
You're not alone. The only reason I know about the Super Bowl this year is because Big Ben (Pittsburgh's quarterback) is from my home town of Findlay, Ohio! I actually had to ask someone today who they are playing in the game.
DARN! I was looking for a good pizza dip for the Superbowl...! I guess I will just have to make it a week late:)- Thank you!
