Who doesn't love pizza? I mean, there's a pizza for everyone. Traditional pizza. Veggie pizza. Fruit pizza. Dessert pizza. Today, I share with you...pizza dip. I think it's meant to be more of an appetizer. As in, take it to a party as your "dish to pass".
Around these parts, we love pizza. So I just made this for dinner one night. Yeah, that's right. I made the pizza dip, toasted a loaf of a french baguette, sat down at the table and told my husband to just start ripping bread apart and lather it up with the dip. That's how we did it ;) I am not ashamed of it either. It was that good. Nothing fancy...but then again, we're not fancy people and I'm not going to pretend we are.


I am pretty sure there are several variations of this recipe floating around the interwebz...here's the one I used:
