Are you ready for the NFL kickoff Thursday night?! To celebrate, Alli made a lightning quick, super easy, 5-ingredient (plus chips for dipping) recipe that everyone will love! It’s so easy that you can buy the ingredients at a store on your way home from work, get home, check Facebook, make it, lay on the couch, check your e-mail, check Facebook, check Instagram, check Facebook again AND get bored, all before your friends show up for your kickoff party!

How to Make a 5-Ingredient Pizza Dip

Ingredients:

  • 1 bag of sliced pepperoni
  • 1 can of black olives (buy pre-sliced olives if you hate slicing olives)
  • 1 jar of pizza sauce
  • 1 bag of mozzarella cheese
  • 2 blocks of cream cheese
  • 1 bag of chips or Everything Pretzel Crisps (because I’m obsessed with them) for dipping

Directions:

This recipe is so easy that we have the directions in pictures! But first, preheat your oven to 350°.

1. Smear the two blocks of cream cheese onto the bottom of the pan.
2. Add a layer of pepperoni on top.
3. Then sprinkle a layer of olives.
4. Pour a layer of pizza sauce on top of all that…
5. Then sprinkle with cheese!

If you have any leftover pepperoni and cheese, cut some of the pepperoni slices in half and use them to make a football shape in the center, using the extra cheese to make the lines. Then pop it into the oven for 20 minutes (or until it starts bubbling… or until you can’t take it anymore and are so hungry that you tell your sister it’s bubbling and ready so you can dive into it with the bag of Everything Pretzel Crisps you bought specifically for the pizza dip).

See? That was a breeze, right? I feel like the hardest part of this recipe is not eating it all before your friends show up. Because full disclosure, Alli and I devoured this no more than 2 minutes after the last picture was taken. Enjoy your first of many football parties this season! Until next time.. ❤
