    While you have the grill hot, make grilled beef crostini, grilled turkey sausage vegetable foil packets or buffalo chicken ranch pizza on your grill.

    📝 Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:

    Can pizza dip be baked in the oven?

    Yes! I make this easy pizza dip on the grill in the summer but in the winter we make it in the oven! Pizza dip can be baked. I bake it at 400 for 15 minutes or until bubbly.

    How do I know when the Pizza dip is ready?

    After 15 minutes check the dip and see if the cheese is bubbling.
    Once you get bubbles along the edges, let it heat for an additional 5-10 minutes. The dip will be done when you have bubbles all around the edge, the cheese is melted and starting to brown and the cheese is heated through.
    Remove the cast iron from the grill and place on a heat resistant surface.
    Just remember that you will need hot pads or a silicone hot handle holder when you remove it from the grill. (just don't leave the silicone holder ON the pan while grilling...) Safety first!Cast Iron Grilled Pizza Dip Recipe

    What do you serve with hot pizza dip?

    I serve this with either a tortilla chip or a wheat thin. I also put a spoon in it so guests can scoop some on to their plate. only so many people can be scooping at this appetizer at once! Another thought.... how good would this dip be on a burger.....?

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 8 ounce Cream Cheese
    • 2 Tablespoons Dried Basil
    • 1 ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
    • 2 Tablespoons Milk
    • 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (divided)
    • ¾ Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (divided)
    • ½ 14 oz. Jar Pizza Sauce

    Instructions
     

    • Soften the cream cheese.
      2 8 ounce Cream Cheese
    • In a mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese with: Dried Basil, Garlic Powder, Milk, ½ the Shredded Mozzarella Cheese and ½ the Grated Parmesan Cheese
      2 Tablespoons Dried Basil, 1 ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder, 2 Tablespoons Milk, 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, ¾ Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
    • Spread in the bottom of a 12 inch cast iron skillet spread the cream cheese mixture.
    • Pour ½ of a jar of pizza sauce over the cream cheese mixture.
      ½ 14 oz. Jar Pizza Sauce
    • Top with an additional 1 cup of Mozzarella cheese and ¼ cup parmesan cheese.
    • Heat the grill to 400 degrees. If it goes to 425, the world will not end. No big deal.
    • Place the cast iron skillet on the hot grill and close the grill for 10 minutes.
    • After 15 minutes check the dip and see if the cheese is bubbling.
    • Serve pizza dip with either a tortilla chip or a wheat thin

    Notes

    You can also use a 10" skillet... the dip will just be a little deeper and need a few minutes extra to heat through. Use what you have. I used the duel handle 12" pan from Lodge in this post.
    How do you reheat pizza dip?
    I love to reheat pizza dip in the microwave. I start with 30 second intervals, stirring after the 30 seconds and repeat until to the temperature I want.
