A quick and easy cast iron skillet appetizer that combines all the flavors of a supreme pizza in a creamy, cheesy dip perfect for parties and game nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked pepperoni slices, chopped
  • 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives, drained
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion (optional)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
  • Crackers, breadsticks, or sliced baguette (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, soften the cream cheese using a spatula or hand mixer until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder to the cream cheese and mix until well combined.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly in the bottom of your cast iron skillet.
  5. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the cream cheese layer.
  6. Top the cheese with half of the pepperoni, bell peppers, olives, and red onion, distributing evenly.
  7. Add the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top of the toppings.
  8. Finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and edges start to brown. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes to thicken the dip.
  11. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
  12. Serve warm with your favorite dippers such as crusty bread, crackers, or veggie sticks.

Notes

If cream cheese is too firm, microwave for 10-15 seconds before mixing for a smoother dip. Use freshly shredded cheese for best melt quality. Let dip rest after baking to thicken and meld flavors. For dairy-free, substitute vegan cream cheese and shredded cheese. For gluten-free, use gluten-free dippers.
