This hot and cheesy Pepperoni Dip is one of my favorite appetizers to serve at a party.

I first had this dip when my husband’s cousin brought it to our beach house for a happy hour party.  It was love at first bite.  It’s so good!  I immediately asked the cousin for the recipe.  She happily shared it. This dip is terribly gooey, cheesy and totally addicting. It’s perfect for a football party.  It’s a hit at every kind of party, in fact!  You will find that it’s the first appetizer to get gobbled up.

➡️ Tips and Substitutions:

  • I like the Fritos scoops chips with this one. 
  • Substitute sausage for the pepperoni, if you’d like.
  • It’s okay to use reduced-fat cream cheese.
  • Make homemade pizza sauce!
