Mushroom & Olive Pizza Dip - Jerry James Stone

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the 16 ounces of cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese, 2 minced cloves of garlic, and 1/2 cup of frozen chopped spinach.

Step 3

Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch round casserole dish and spread the mixture out until it is even. You can also use a 9-inch cast iron skillet, really any 2 1/2 quart casserole, or even a 9-inch pie plate.

Step 4

Add 1 cup of pizza sauce and spread the sauce evenly over the top of the cream cheese mixture.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, 4 ounces of sliced mushrooms, and 2 ounces of sliced California olives.

Step 6

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. It is done when the cheese has melted and the dish is bubbly around the edges.

Step 7

Enjoy!
