Ooey Gooey Pizza Dip - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup pepperoni, chopped
1/2 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup green pepper, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
6 1/2 ounces mushroom stems and pieces, drained
3/4 cup black olives, chopped
1/4 cup green olives, chopped
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, plus a bit more cracked across the finished dip

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0.
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients, mixing well to incorporate. Spread into a baking dish - either a large rectangle up to a 9\" x 13\" size, or a large pie plate. Crack a bit more black pepper over the surface and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the top is golden brown. Serve with sturdy crackers, toasted pita triangles or sliced & toasted baguettes.
