Ingredients

  • 1 cup marinara sauce, store bought
  • 4 ounce cream cheese, brick
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper, ground
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic, powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano, dried
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper by simply organic
  • ¾ ounce pepperoni, pork and beef
  • 2 slice (from pre-sliced package) – each 3/4 ounce mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. In a cast iron skillet, heat the marinara sauce and cream cheese together over a medium heat until the two emulsify. You should have a light pink/orange sauce that is thick and bubbly.
  2. Stir in all the seasonings. Chop and stir in the pepperoni as well. At this point, turn on your oven’s broiler.
  3. Once the dip is heated through and fragrant, turn off the stove. Arrange 2 slices of mozzarella cheese on top of the dip. Heat the skillet under your broiler for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  4. Serve hot! The original recipe here makes approx. 1 ½ cups of dip.
