Potluck Recipe for Work, that works!
I love a good recipe that comes together really easily and this is one of them. You can mix it with a mixer but even by hand, it takes less than five minutes to stir it up. Once mixed it can be covered and refrigerated for up to two days before baking.
This is genius because the last thing you need before your party is a panicky feeling because you’re not prepared for the potluck. Making this Pepperoni Dip the day before means you simply warm it and serve it. Or better yet put it in a small potluck and warm it all morning long.
Keto Dip
If your guests are low carb this is the perfect keto dip recipe. Just be sure to leave the bread crumbs off the top if they’re a problem for you. Definitely, serve this one with chopped vegetables for dipping to keep it a keto dip. be sure to whip up some of my Baked Jalapeno Poppers too for your keto friends. They will be so appreciative of that!

Oh my word, this sounds perfect, especially the make ahead part. By the way, all week, your post titles (the ones that show up on my "Good Reads" section are old titles. I'm so glad I checked in to see how the turkey bake went (because the "Good Reads" title said it was still Turkey) but when I got here, it was pepperoni dip. Not sure why that's happening, but glad I popped in early.
Oh…I could eat this WHOLE dish. I'm not kidding. Looks awesome!
This sounds really good. I've been making various dips for all the holiday parties that have been happening over the last couple of months and I've been looking for a new one to try. Thanks for the recipe
