Recently I was looking for a new dip and came upon one that looked interesting from Pillsbury, Layered Pizza Dip. I wouldn’t have given the recipe a second look if it had not been the combination of mostly Italian flavors and cheddar cheese.
I don’t know why, but, I just didn’t think cheddar and mozzarella would go very well together until I tried a savory pie recipe late last month… the pie recipe had lots of “issues” but the flavor combination of adding Cheddar to traditional Italian ingredients was actually very good… so good in fact, reworking that failed pie recipe into a casserole is high on my “To Do” list.
So I tried this Layered Pizza Dip recipe and we really liked it… a really good and different dip… one definitely worth trying.
TIPS
I only have a couple of tips….
Make sure you serve it pretty quickly after heating… the Cheddar and mozzarella cheese tend to harden a bit after sitting and it’s tough to dip then…. the dip will go quickly as it’s very tasty and addicting… so having it harden after serving shouldn’t be a problem since I doubt it will last long.
The directions are written for baking in the oven… you can microwave this as well. Heat on high until the dip is hot and the cheese melts.
This dip is perfect for a family night of TV or watching the game…
