Equipment
- 1 9x9 glass casserole dish
Ingredients
- 1 lb spicy Italian sausage
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 block cream cheese softened
- 1 15 oz can crushed tomatoes
- ½ cup chopped banana peppers
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese divided in half
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp all purpose seasoning we used Adobo, but whatever you like to use
- salt to taste
For Serving
- toasted baguette slices, chips or crackers
- chopped parsley
Recipe Instructions
- Heat a cast iron over medium heat. Remove the sausage casings and add the meat to the pan. Break up with a wooden spoon into small pieces. Cook until brown. Remove from the pan and allow to cool.
- Preheat oven to 350℉. In a large glass bowl, combine the sausage, cream cheese, tomatoes, banana peppers, ½ cup of mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and the seasonings. Stir to combine and taste. Add salt if needed. (It's going to look ugly at this stage, but trust the process).
- Spray your casserole dish with oil. Dump the dip into the dish, spreading out evenly. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese and a little salt and pepper.
- Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until the edges get bubbly. Then, bump your oven up to broil and broil until the cheese gets slightly browned, about 3 minutes (depends on your oven, so keep a close eye).
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Garnish with parsley and dip into it with toasted baguette, chips or crackers.
