Ingredients
  

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup pizza sauce

1 cup pepperoni slices, chopped

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Tortilla chips, breadsticks, or vegetable sticks for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot and ready to bake your dip.

    Mix Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy. You can use an electric mixer for this step for a fluffier texture.

      Add Cheeses and Seasoning: Stir in the shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well until all cheese is evenly distributed in the cream cheese mixture.

        Incorporate Pizza Sauce and Pepperoni: Fold in the pizza sauce and the chopped pepperoni until well combined. Make sure the pepperoni is evenly spread throughout the mix.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Spread the mixture evenly into a medium-sized baking dish or oven-safe skillet, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

            Bake the Dip: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the top is slightly golden.

              Serve and Garnish: Once out of the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil for a pop of color and added flavor. Serve warm with tortilla chips, breadsticks, or fresh veggie sticks for dipping.
