Today I wanted to share with you a recipe that’s perfect for cookouts or summer visitors…this Pizza Dip Stuffed Bread Bowl is a great way to get your family and friends gathered around the table enjoying each others’ company!

The recipe for this appetizer is very simple and the ingredients are things that everyone will like, especially if you love Italian or pizza!

You start by mixing all of your ingredients together in a bowl…just dump them on in and get to mixing.

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees and transfer your dip mixture into an oven safe baking pan. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until melted and bubbly.

While baking, take your bread bowl and carefully hollow it out. Leave the bread scraps for dippers.

After your dip has baked, transfer the dip into the bread bowl, then take a little extra cheese and oregano and top the tip lightly and place back in the oven to melt (5-7 minutes).

Once melted, pull out of oven and place bread around it and serve warm!

Your guests will love it and you won’t be able to stop eating it! 🙂

Pause for the obligatory melty, gooey cheese shot…..

You’re welcome.
