Pizza Dip Tips

Like pizza, you can make this dip your own by adding your favorite pizza toppings, including cooked sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, fresh tomatoes and olives. The sky’s the limit!

Anything you'd serve with similar dip recipes works for this pizza dip, especially tortilla chips, baguette slices, crackers and pita chips. If you want to go big, try one of these homemade breadstick recipes or this great garlic bread to go with the pizza dip.

Can you make hot pizza dip in the oven or slow cooker?

Yes! To make hot pizza dip in a slow cooker, toss all ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on high for 1 hour. In the oven, combine the ingredients in a 9-in. pie plate and bake at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Want even more of our best potluck, picnic and party appetizers?
