Easy Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Dip
This gooey and pepperoni packed dip tastes just like your favorite slice of pizza.
recipesbynani.comIf you are looking for a snack that disappears as soon as you put it on the table, this is the one. It is a warm, bubbly mix of creamy cheeses and savory pepperoni that everyone loves at game day parties or family movie nights.
My best tip is to serve this in a small cast iron skillet. It keeps the cheese warm and gooey for a long time while you finish off the last of the bread.
