This Sausage Pizza Dip will be your favorite party dip. Or your favorite lunch. I’ve been known to make a smaller batch and just eat it for lunch with fresh veggies.
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 time 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.
My blogging friend Briana also has a Supreme Pizza Dip on her website and her’s is loaded with veggies and pepperoni like a combo pizza. If that is more up your alley go check her dip out.
Ingredients:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup tomato sauce (I use Classico Roasted Garlic)
2 cups cooked crumbled sausage (about 1 pound)
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Note: If you need to cook sausage for this recipe do that first. I like to cook and crumble a big batch and freeze it in 1 cup portions for recipes. First, I cut the casings off with a scissors (so much easier then trying to squish out the meat), 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.
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400. Spread the cream cheese in the bottom of a deep dish pie plate. Spread the tomato sauce on top. Sprinkle on the cooked sausage. Sprinkle on the mozzarella and parmesan. Bake for 15 minutes until bubbly and golden brown around the edges.

I hardly ever cook so I was excited to find this simple-to-make recipe for a party I attended. There was about 15 ppl there at the time I arrived and in 20 minute the whole dish was gone! Unfortunately I did not have a chance to taste it, but everyone raved about it. Thank you for the recipe!!
This sounds wonderful. What kind of sausage do you use?
Sweet Italian pork sausage. You could use chicken sausage if you prefer or a spicy sausage.
