Betty Crocker's Layered Pizza Dip

We had this great New Year's appetizer with friends last night.  Simple, yummy, easy to make in advance... what more could I ask for.  It's easy to adapt to your favorite pizza tastes.  Enjoy!  Original recipe from the Betty Crocker website.

Betty Crocker's Layered Pizza Dip

Ingredients:

• 1 (8-oz.) container soft cream cheese with chives and onions
• 1/2 cup chunky pizza sauce
• 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
• 1/3 cup finely chopped pepperoni
• 2 oz. (1/2 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese, or more
• 2 oz. (1/2 cup) shredded Cheddar cheese, or more

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350°F. In ungreased 9-inch pie pan or 1 to 1 1/2-quart baking dish, layer all ingredients in order listed.
2. Bake at 350°F. for 10 to 15 minutes or until dip is hot and cheese is melted.
3. Serve warm with bagel crisps, bagel chips or crackers.

Marsha's Notes:

I am not a big green pepper fan, so I simply left those out. But I can see how it would be so easy to add your favorite pizza toppings to this versatile dish. I also served mine with homemade bagel crisps.
