Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1.5 cups Marinara sauce
- 24 medium meatballs Italian meatballs, cooked
- 2 tbsp Fresh basil, chopped
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix to evenly distribute the flavors.
Spread the mixture evenly in the bottom of a medium-sized oven-safe baking dish.
Pour the marinara sauce over the cheese mixture, spreading it evenly to create a smooth layer.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of Parmesan cheese evenly over the marinara layer.
Arrange the cooked meatballs on top of the dish, pressing them gently into the sauce to slightly submerge them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling around the edges and the meatballs are heated through.
Carefully remove the dish from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped basil.
Serve hot with crusty bread, toasted baguette slices, or as a sauce over pasta. Enjoy!
