Ooey Gooey Pizza Dip

Note: This recipe is highly versatile, so feel free to mix it up with your favorite pizza ingredients. I would suggest leaving the cheeses and pepperoni as the base to the dip. Then just have fun with the rest!

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients, mixing well to incorporate. Spread into a baking dish, either a large rectangle up to a 9″ x 13″ size, or a large pie plate. Crack a bit more black pepper over the surface and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the top is golden brown. Sometimes I also place it under the broiler for a minute or two to get the top extra golden pretty. Serve with sturdy crackers or sliced and toasted baguettes.
