EASY PIZZA DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 9-inch pie dish (I used a glass Pyrex) with cooking spray.
• Using a spatula or butter knife, evenly spread the cream cheese over the base of pie dish. It'll slide around a bit and it doesn't have to be perfect, but it's so much easier if your cream cheese is very well-softened.
• Evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup mozzarella over cream cheese.
• Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup parmesan.
• Evenly add the pizza sauce to cover cheese and if necessary, gently spread it with a spatula or knife to evenly disperse.
• Evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup mozzarella over sauce.
• Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup parmesan.
• Evenly top with pepperoni slices.
• Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes (I baked 23 minutes), or until cheese has melted and dip is done to your liking. Allow dip to cool momentarily before serving.
