Awhile back, I bought a package of pepperoni that was on sale and stuck it in the freezer. When I was cleaning out the freezer and making room, I decided to pull the package out to thaw. It ended up being a lot bigger than I remembered so I have been looking for recipes that called for pepperoni. So far, I've found two of them that we have really enjoyed.
I wanted to find an appetizer that was not any kind of pizza roll. I have nothing against pizza rolls, they are just more involved in preparation than I wanted. I came across this dip recipe online and decided to try it. It smelled divine and thankfully tasted just as good.
Pepperoni and Red Pepper Dip
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic power
1 cup finely chopped pepperoni
1/2 cup roasted red pepper, chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sour cream together until smooth. Add all herbs and mix until well blended. Fold in the pepperoni and red pepper. Once that is mixed in thoroughly, add the mozzarella until completely combined. Chill and serve with crackers or vegetables.
Enjoy!
