Pizza. Something that doesn't really agree with a lap band. I love the flavors. I love the ooey gooey cheese and how it slides into my mouth.
Sadly, the bread typically makes it get stuck which means it doesn't stay down long. Maybe that's TMI but it is a sad truth of lap band life.
So when I found this recipe for pizza dip, I was very excited. Because chips I can have! When we decided on Sunday to do dips, I knew this had to be one of them. It did not let me down.
Here's what you'll need
1 container (8 oz) of chive and onion flavored cream cheese
1/2 cup pizza sauce of your choice (I used Ragu in a jar because I'm classy)
1/2 cup pepperoni. If you can find the little ones, use those. If you can't (I couldn't) cut up the big ones into small pieces
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup shredded cheddar
Oregano
Garlic Salt
Keep in mind that I literally eyeballed everything in this recipe. I measured nothing. It was awesome.
Here's what you do:
Preheat the oven to 375 (the recipe calls for 350 but I did it slightly warmer to be able to bake the crescents at the same time)
In a round baking dish or a pie pan, layer the ingredients in the order listed. I sprinkled some oregano and garlic salt between layers.
When you are done, it looks like this:
Put the dish in the oven and bake for 10 -12 minutes until bubble and melty. Let it cool and serve with the chips of your choice. You could do french bread slices or maybe even garlic bread if you wanted. I couldn't.
I loved this so much that I ate it twice in one day. The cream cheese adds something really really special. I wish I had some right now.
I felt like I was actually having pizza, which was special for me. And nothing is better then melted cheese. This reheats great too. Make it for Super Bowl day!
