Pepperoni Pizza Queso Food

EASY PIZZA DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 9-inch pie dish (I used a glass Pyrex) with cooking spray.
• Using a spatula or butter knife, evenly spread the cream cheese over the base of pie dish. It'll slide around a bit and it doesn't have to be perfect, but it's so much easier if your cream cheese is very well-softened.
• Evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup mozzarella over cream cheese.
• Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup parmesan.
• Evenly add the pizza sauce to cover cheese and if necessary, gently spread it with a spatula or knife to evenly disperse.
• Evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup mozzarella over sauce.
• Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup parmesan.
• Evenly top with pepperoni slices.
• Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes (I baked 23 minutes), or until cheese has melted and dip is done to your liking. Allow dip to cool momentarily before serving.

PEPPERONI QUESO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the canned chiles and tomatoes and bring to a simmer.
• Reduce the heat and stir in the processed cheese until smooth. Off the heat, stir in the cheddar until melted. Stir in the jalapeño and half the pepperoni. Garnish with the remaining pepperoni. Serve with pretzel bites.

4 CHEESE PEPPERONI PIZZADILLA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Spread a few tablespoons pizza sauce on the tortilla, leaving a little room around the edges. Sprinkle half of the provolone and half of the fontina over the sauce. Sprinkle a third of the mozzarella next, followed by 1 tablespoon Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon oregano.
• Top with the second tortilla and press it down gently. Once the underside is perfectly toasted, carefully flip the quesadilla to the other side.
• Spread a few more tablespoons pizza sauce on the toasted side of the tortilla, being sure to leave a little bit of the edges exposed so it looks like a pizza. Sprinkle with another third of the mozzarella and the remaining provolone, fontina, Parmesan and oregano.
• Arrange the red bell pepper and red onion on top of the cheeses like you would on a pizza. Do the same with the pepperoni slices and the olives. Top with the remaining mozzarella.
• Transfer the pan to the broiler and let cook to melt the cheese on top, about 2 minutes. Carefully transfer the pizzadilla to a cutting board using a large spatula or two smaller spatulas.
• Warm up the remaining pizza sauce and serve in a bowl for dipping. Cut the pizzadilla into wedges and garnish with the torn basil.

TRIPLE PEPPERONI PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Brush a sheet pan with olive oil.
• Roll out the dough ball, then transfer to the sheet pan. Spoon on the pizza sauce and spread it around, then top with the fresh mozzarella.
• Mix together the shredded mozzarella and provolone in a bowl, then sprinkle over the pizza.
• Place the pepperoni all over the top. Bake until done, 10 to 12 minutes. Brush the crust with garlic butter, then serve.
• Sprinkle the yeast over 1 1/2 cups of warm (not lukewarm) water. Let stand for a few minutes.
• Combine the flour and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Turn the mixer on low speed and drizzle in the oil until combined with the flour. Next, pour in the yeast mixture and mix until just combined and the dough comes together in a sticky mass.
• Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil and form the dough into a ball. Toss to coat the dough in the oil, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set it aside for at least 1 or up to 2 hours at room temperature, or store in the fridge until you need it, up to 4 days ahead. Bring the refrigerated dough to room temperature before using.
• Cook's Note: The dough is best made at least 24 hours in advance, and 3 or 4 days is even better.
• Add the plum tomatoes, tomato strips, basil, oil, chile paste, salt, sugar and garlic to a food processor and blend until smooth.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, then add the garlic and salt. Cook for a couple of minutes to release the flavor, but don't let the garlic brown.

PIZZA GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the butter, Parmesan, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper. Brush one side of each slice of bread with this mixture.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lay one piece of the bread, butter-side down, in the skillet. Spread 1 tablespoon marinara sauce on the bread and layer on the mozzarella, provolone, pepperoni, pepper slices, olives and basil leaves. Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up. Toast in the skillet, flipping as needed, until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove from the skillet and slice in half. Serve with the remaining 1/4 cup marinara on the side.

CAMPFIRE PEPPERONI PIZZA

Steps:

• Place pizza stone on grill directly over wood fire. You may need to begin by spreading out the wood if the flames are too tall. Roll out the pizza dough to desired thickness. Place it on the pizza stone and cook 10 minutes on one side until golden.
• Remove from the fire and on the cooked side, spread the pizza sauce in an even layer over dough leaving about a half inch around the rim of the pizza dough bare. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the sauce, followed by the pepperoni slices.
• Place uncooked side down, back on the pizza stone. Cover with a foil tent and cook until cheese has melted, about 10 minutes more. Transfer pizza to a cutting board and let cool slightly before cutting and serving.
