Is it a pizza or a dip?
I found this one in a book from Basic
Cigarettes!!! (No Pic Though)
Tasty Italian Pizza dip:
16oz. softened cream cheese mixed with 1
teaspoon Italian dressing & 1/4 teaspoon
garlic powder
1/2 C pizza sauce
1/2 C green bell pepper
1/4 C onion diced
1/2 C diced pepperoni
1 C shredded four-cheese pizza blend
2 Tablespoons grated Romano or Parmesan
cheese
1/4 C ripe olives or pimento stuffed, sliced
Heat oven to 425 F. Spread cream cheese
evenly over the bottom of a 1-quart shallow
baking dish or 9-inch pie pan; layer the
remaining ingredients evenly in order listed.
Bake 15 mins., until cheese is bubbly and dip
is heated through
Serve hot with you favorite dippers, chips
tostidos ect....
This is a great dip to make up for a snack
while watching the game or a race....
This is an Easy but GOOD Snack!
1 lb. Bag Of Hormel Meatballs
(or you can make your own)
Place one layer deep into a Casserole Dish
Pour "VELVET GOURMET" Garlic or Hickory
BBQ Sauce over the Meatballs
Take a fork and rotate each Meatball so it is
covered with BBQ Sauce
Heat Oven to 350 place into the oven and
Cook for 30 minutes so Sauce is thick and
meatballs are warmed completely through.
Great for a Meatball Sandwich or set them
on the table with some tooth picks and
watch them disappear! I originally made
them with Hickory but now I make them with
Garlic. They  are good either way.
As Always, Enjoy

Any chile-spiced cream cheese can be used
to create this easy-to-make spicy snack.
1 cup spicy cream cheese like Pikanter Philadelphia
or French Cremeux Mexicano Picante, or make your
own by combining regular cream cheese with your
favorite hot sauce
1 tomato, finely chopped
1 clove garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon chipotle powder or Pimenton de la Vera
hot
Pinch of salt
4 flour tortillas
In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, tomato, garlic,
chipotle powder and mix well.
Spread the mixture on the tortillas like buttering a
sandwich, leaving a 1/2 inch border along the edge of
the tortillas.
Stack 2 tortillas on top of each other and roll up real
tight. Repeat with the other two.
To keep rolls from falling apart, wrap each one tightly
in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Shortly before serving, unwrap rolls. Cut into slices
about 1 inch thick.
Yield: 4 servings Heat Scale: Medium
