Common Questions
How long will pizza dip keep?
Pizza dip will keep for approximately 3 to 4 days after baking. If you have any leftovers, it can be reheated slowly in the microwave.
Can I make this dip in advance?
Definitely. Pepperoni dip can be made in advance. As it tastes best baked fresh, assemble this dip (up to 24 hours) in advance but do not bake it until right before you want to serve it. You should remove the dip from your refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking to allow the ingredients to come to room temperature.
How can I lower the fat in this dip?
To lower the fat in this recipe use a low fat or nonfat cream cheese, skim mozzarella and parmesan, and turkey pepperoni. You can go a little less on the cheese but the best part of the dip is the combination of melted cheese, sauce, and toppings.
Can I substitute other pizza ingredients?
Yes! Feel free to substitute your favorite pizza ingredients and remove those you don’t like. Substitute 8 oz. italian sausage, diced ham, or ground beef, etc for the pepperoni. Swap out green peppers on onions for other items such as olives, thinly sliced mushrooms.
The key to this is to put any raw vegetables on top, in similar quanties as the green pepper and onion – about 3 tablespoons each. If you add more than that it will be fine, but you will have to adjust your baking time slightly.
