Equipment

Ingredients

Dip Ingredients:

  • 2 blocks cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 14 ounces of pizza sauce
  • ½ pound ground Italian sausage cooked
  • 1 cup mini pepperonis
  • 2 cups hand-shredded mozzarella cheese divided

Dipping Bread:

  • Italian bread
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • Remove the cream cheese from the fridge and set it aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375° F.
  • To the sliced bread, add the oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Toss so both sides get covered. Bake for 7-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • To a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and dried seasonings. Mix and combine.
  • Top with half of the meat.
  • Top with the pizza sauce
  • Top with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese
  • Top with the remaining meat.
  • Top with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Broil on high for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Sprinkle Italian seasoning on top.

Notes

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Toss the sliced bread with oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, making sure both sides are evenly coated. Arrange the bread on a baking sheet and bake for about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and dried seasonings. Mix until smooth and well blended. Layer half of the meat over the cream cheese mixture, then spread the pizza sauce evenly on top. Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce, add the remaining meat, and finish with the rest of the cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, then broil on high for 2–3 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Finish by sprinkling a little extra Italian seasoning over the top before serving.
