- 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
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.
