Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |

| Ground sausage | 1/2 lb |
| Cream cheese | 1 package |

| Parmesan cheese | 1 cup |
| Green bell peppers | 3/4 cup |

Instructions:
-
Combine cream cheese and Italian seasoning together. In a mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese and Italian seasoning until well combined. This will infuse the cream cheese with a delightful Italian flavor profile.
-
Layer the baking dish. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly at the bottom of a 1 1/2 quart baking dish, creating a smooth base for the layers of deliciousness to come.
-
Add shredded cheeses. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese mixture over the cream cheese layer, ensuring even coverage throughout the dish.
-
Layer with pizza sauce. Next, generously spread the pizza sauce over the layer of shredded cheese, adding a burst of tangy tomato flavor to the dip.
-
Top with sausage and veggies. Scatter the ground sausage, chopped green bell peppers, and sliced green onions evenly over the pizza sauce layer, distributing the savory toppings for maximum flavor.
-
Finish with remaining cheese. Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese mixture over the top of the sausage and veggie layer, ensuring all the ingredients are well covered with gooey, melted cheese.
-
Bake to perfection. Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and bake the pizza dip for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the dip is heated through to perfection.
-
Serve and enjoy! Once baked to golden perfection, remove the dip from the oven and serve it piping hot alongside crunchy corn chips for dipping.
