Oh, how I love pizza dip. My friend Jaclyn makes it for all of her parties and she was the one who gave me the first recipe I used. It is so easy. I’ve made it dozens of times over the last 7 or 8 years. A block of cream cheese, tomato sauce, mozzarella. Three ingredients. Done. I make it that way a lot of the time and if you are pinched for time or are a vegetarian you can make this that way too.

However, I decided to kick it up a notch and add crumbled sausage because that is one of my favorite pizza toppings. The other is mushrooms. It has to be crumbled sausage, not sliced. And the mushrooms have to be fresh, not canned. Either or on a traditional piece of pizza and I’m in heaven.

When to eat Easy Sausage Pizza Dip

All the time. This is a great appetizer but I’ve also been known to make a smaller batch of this sausage pizza dip and just eat it for lunch with fresh veggies.

What to serve with Keto Pizza Dip

I like this sausage pizza dip best with sweet peppers or thinly sliced raw zucchini. I never realized how much I like raw zucchini until a few years when I got a spiralizer and began making a zoodle salad. Raw zucchini has so much crunch and a nice, mild flavor that pairs well with so many other tastes.

Tips for Cooking Sausage

If you need to cook sausage for this recipe do that first.
First, I cut the casings off with scissors (so much easier than trying to squish out the meat).
Second, I put them in a big frying pan coated with cooking spray, and just cook until brown. I break up the pieces with a potato masher a few times while it cooks.
I like to cook and crumble a big batch and freeze it in 1 cup portions for recipes.

  1. Will this reheat well in a microwave. My party is 30 min away from the house. It most likely will be cold and the cheese solidified if not reheated!
    Thank You!

  2. I’d like to make this tonight for a get together at my house! How quickly does the cheese solidify though? Any tips on keeping it warm?
