Kids love Pizza, so it stands to reason a Pepperoni Pizza Dip recipe would be a big hit as an after school snack. Fortunately this tasty Pizza Dip makes a warm, gooey and delicious dip that is just as easy to throw together as it is yummy.
This Pizza Dip is very frugal and a large dip that can last for days, getting rewarmed in the microwave and served throughout the week. My kids love pepperoni in this dip but crumbled sausage, black olives, mushrooms etc.. can go into this cream cheese dip base as well.

Hide Veggies in this pizza dip!
It is also easy to “hide” veggies in the dip too and give kids an extra dose of hidden nutrition. Shhh…. no one will know! You can make this dip for the kids for after school, but football season is coming up too! Think about making it for parties as well and add some onions and garlic to make it more appealing to adults ( but really we all think this Pizza dip is just about perfect as is!)

Now we normally will make this dip in the oven in a glass pie pan, and then we like to keep it warm in a mini dipper crockpot. We just love them because it keeps the tip warm and smooth.
