Ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room-temperature
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1 cup shredded Mozarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded (or grated) Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 2 generous tablespoons minced green bell pepper
• 2 generous tablespoons minced red bell pepper 
   

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and Italian seasoning together. Then stir in 1/2 cup of each of the cheeses. Spread the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate or a similarly-sized gratin dish. Pour on the pizza sauce, followed by the remaining cheeses and the minced bell peppers.
   
    
2. Ahead of time note: At this point, you can cover and refrigerate the dish for up to 24 hours.
3. When you are ready to bake, center the oven rack and preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake until hot and bubbly -- 25-30 minutes. Serve hot with crackers or toasted rounds of a baguette. 
    

For added flavor, stir 1 teaspoon of garlic powder into the cream cheese mixture. For a meaty dip, add chopped pieces of pepperoni to the bell pepper topping.
