Instructions:
step 1 Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease or line a small baking dish or foil tray.
step 2 In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until smooth. Spread in an even layer at the bottom of the baking dish.
step 3 Spread the pizza sauce over the cream cheese layer.
step 4 Sprinkle cooked sausage or ground beef evenly over the sauce, if using.
step 5 Top with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
step 6 Arrange pepperoni and bacon (if using) evenly on top.
step 7 Bake for 20–25 minutes until hot, bubbly, and golden around the edges.
step 8 Serve warm with tortilla chips, crostini, or toasted baguette slices.
Storage and Reheating Tips:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through or microwave individual portions. Stir before serving to redistribute the layers.
