Easy Pepperoni Pizza Dip Tips from Nancy

  • Make sure your cream cheese is room temperature. It can be tricky spreading it over your dish if it is still cold.
  • Make sure you have a full cup of chopped pepperoni. You really want to get the full flavor in each bite!
  • Make sure you spread your tomato sauce evenly over your cream cheese.
    you really can add as much green onion as you would like! I ended up just chopping up a lot more and topping it on the final product.
  • You can definitely serve this with anything you’d like. I used homemade tortillas chips, crackers and celery; you could even try soft pretzels. (All equally good!)
