This year for the Superbowl, I decided to make something different based on what I had in my fridge. This is my absolute favorite way to create recipes and this one was a hit!

Bring this pizza dip to any gathering and you will be the most popular person there!

Main Ingredients in Pizza Dip:

  • Cream Cheese: this gives a nice creamy base to the dip 
  • Italian Sausage: mixed with the cream cheese, use hot or mild flavor
  • Italian Seasoning: gives this dip a deeper Italian flavor
  • Pepperoni: perfect to top the dip and gives it a great look

Can I Make a Dairy Free Pizza Dip?

Technically, yes. You can use a vegan mozzarella and soy or almond based cream cheese, but be aware that the taste may not be the same. 

What To Serve With Pizza Dip:

  • Tortilla Chips
  • Crackers
  • Cucumber Slices
  • Celery Sticks
  • Pork Rinds
  • Carrot Chips
  • Cheese Crisps

How To Make Keto Pizza Dip:

  1. Set aside 2 – 8 ounce blocks of full fat cream cheese aside to come to room temperature. Alternatively, you can microwave the cream cheese in a bowl for 45 seconds so it softens. 
  2. Preheat oven to 350.
  3. In a medium pan, brown 8 oz of Italian sausage crumbles. This can be hot Italian sausage or mild Italian sausage. If you can’t find ground Italian sausage, buy sausage links and remove from casing. 
  4. Once Italian sausage is cooked through, add it to a bowl with the softened cream cheese, Italian seasoning and mix together until everything is evenly combined.
  5. Layer cream cheese and sausage mix on the bottom of a casserole dish. Top with pizza sauce or marinara, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni.
  6. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and dip is all the way warmed through.
  7. Serve hot with dippers.
