Pep Dip Recipe

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Prepare Cream Cheese Base: In a large bowl, add all 3 (8 oz) packages of softened cream cheese. Mix with an electric mixer or sturdy spoon until the cream cheese is smooth and creamy.
2. Process Pepperoni & Pepperoncinis: Place the 10 oz pepperoni slices in a food processor. Pulse until all slices are evenly processed into small, fine pieces. Add the ⅓ cup drained pepperoncinis to the food processor with the pepperoni and pulse again until they are well incorporated and finely chopped.
3. Combine & Season: Add the processed pepperoni and pepperoncini mixture to the smooth cream cheese in the large bowl. Add the 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
4. Mix & Chill: Mix everything until all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed throughout the dip. If desired, transfer the mixture to a serving dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
5. Serve: Serve chilled with your favorite crackers, pretzel crisps, or vegetable sticks.

Enjoy your delicious Pep Dip!
