2. Combine the cream cheese and Italian seasoning in a mixing bowl until well blended.

3. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on the bottom of a shallow baking dish. A ceramic pie dish works great for this!

4. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses over the cream cheese layer.

5. Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the cheese layer. If needed, add more sauce to ensure everything is well covered.

6. Top the sauce with the diced onions, diced green peppers, and the remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheeses.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

   • If you’re in a hurry, you can also microwave the dip until it’s heated through and the cheese is gooey.

8. Serve hot and bubbly, straight from the oven, with your favorite crackers for dipping!

Tips:

• Customize Your Dip: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Add cooked and crumbled sausage, pepperoni slices, black olives, or any of your favorite pizza toppings.

• Make It Ahead: You can prepare this dip up to a day in advance. Simply cover it tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to bake, just pop it in the oven and enjoy!

• Variations: For a spicy kick, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or some diced jalapeños on top before baking.

• Dipping Options: Besides crackers, this dip goes wonderfully with breadsticks, tortilla chips, or even toasted baguette slices.

• Leftovers: If you somehow have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through.
