Baked Pepperoni Pizza Dip is a warm, cheesy dip that features all the flavors of a pepperoni pizza in a dip form. This is a family favorite that is easy to make.
This dip is perfect for game day or just as a snack for a family get-together. It is baked until the cheese is melted and gooey.
It can be served with breadsticks, crackers, tortilla chips, or choose what you would like to use for dipping.
Helpful tips
- Have the cream cheese at room temperature.
- Beat the cream cheese before adding the other ingredients. This will help with blending everything together smoothly.
- It is best to use cheese that you shred yourself rather than using pre-shredded cheese. I used the pre-shredded cheese for the dip that you see in the pictures; it does not melt as nicely as the cheese you shred yourself. Although the pre-shredded cheese does not melt as well, it still tastes great.
- Make sure to preheat the oven before baking the dip.
- The dip is done when the cheese is melted, and the edges of the dip are lightly browned.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
Ingredients
- Cream Cheese

Steps for making baked pepperoni dip
