This Hot Italian Dip will be the most delicious appetizer you have ever tasted!
It’s New Year’s Eve…what? Another 365 days have slipped through my fingers, I tried to make most of them count. Hopefully you did too.
I am not really into resolutions, however, I keep telling myself I am going to keep my office organized during 2015. However, first I need to actually organize it to make that happen. Why is it so hard to keep the thousands of pieces of paper together in an organized fashion? I don’t really know. It’s almost as if I can keep it going and then one bad day ruins my whole streak and bam….I have a mess again. I find it really difficult to keep it from all getting out of hand, but a winery is all PAPERWORK all the time. It gets out of control often.
If you are still looking for that special something to serve tonight, for the big game tomorrow or the Super Bowl, this Hot Italian Dip will be a great addition. It’s so good I had to remove myself from the room where it was. It is one of those addicting recipes….watch out.
I started with a base of Italian sausage and added some flavorful additions to make this dip over-the-top. I chose every ingredient for their flavor or creaminess and man…it came out so well.
Using the tip of my knife, I swirled the top of the dip to give it a little height. Then I sprinkled the cheese and pizza seasoning on top before popping it in the oven.
It’s hard to enjoy just one bite or ten….I promise you will love it!
