Think of this as a pizza without the dough! Combine all your favorite pizza ingredients in a hot dip and serve with taco chips, crackers, or breadsticks. It is easy to prepare in advance and keep refrigerated. Blend cream cheese, sour cream, and seasonings. Spread in a nine-inch pie plate or quiche pan. Spread pizza sauce over base. Top with pepperoni pieces and chopped peppers. Spread cheese over top. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and edges are golden.
