Notes

Yield: This recipe yields about 6 cups of dip.
  • Use brick-style cream cheese for this dip, and make sure it has fully softened before mixing.
  • For best results, shred the cheese from blocks. It melts much better than pre-shredded cheese.
  • Feel free to add your favorite pizza toppings to this dip. Just be sure to cook any that have a lot of moisture so that they don't water down the dip.
  • Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
  • To make in a slow cooker, follow our Crockpot Pizza Dip Recipe.
Storage: Store pizza dip tightly covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil for up to 5 days.
