Baked Sausage Dip - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1/2 pound ground Italian sausage
1 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1/2 cup marinara sauce
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Cook and stir sausage until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the same pan. Saute onion, pepper, and garlic until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in cooked sausage. Add cream cheese, marinara sauce, and Italian seasoning. Mix all together.
Pour mixture into a baking dish. Top with mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until cheeses melt and start to brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
