Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 cup Marinara or pizza sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Mini pepperoni slices
- 0.5 cup Green bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup Black olives, sliced
- 2 tbsp Fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or an oven-safe baking dish.
Pour the marinara or pizza sauce over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly with a spoon.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and 1/2 cup of shredded Parmesan evenly over the marinara layer.
Add the mini pepperoni slices, diced green bell pepper, and sliced black olives on top of the cheese layer to create a colorful topping.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and 1/2 cup of Parmesan evenly over the toppings.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Carefully remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with fresh chopped basil leaves for extra flavor.
Serve warm with baguette slices, crackers, or tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy!
