Pizza Dip

We love all things pizza - So I couldn't resist trying this recipe. I made this 2 times this weekend and both times it all went. Served with baquette or pita chips. Both were good!

8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream (I used greek yogurt)
1 tsp. dried oregano (heaping tsp., for more flavor)
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup your favorite pizza sauce (or 1/2 cup tomato sauce mixed with pizza seasonings)
1/2 of a pepperoni sausage, chopped small (but not sliced), that will equal about 1/2 cup
1/2 cup sliced green onion
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat together the cream cheese, sour cream, oregano, garlic powder and crushed red pepper flakes. Spread into a 9-inch pie pan. Spread the pizza sauce over the top. Sprinkle with the pepperoni, onions and peppers. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the cheese.
Note: Make sure your cheese doesn't end up in one big clump in the middle. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the dip to ensure that it won't bake together, which will make it hard to get the dip out.
Return the dip to the oven and bake for 5 more minutes until golden.
