Ingredients
  

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup marinara sauce

1 cup sliced pepperoni

1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red and green)

1/2 cup sliced black olives (optional)

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.

      Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes until fully combined.

        Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or an oven-safe baking dish.

          Pour the marinara sauce over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly.

            Sprinkle the sliced pepperoni, diced bell peppers, and black olives (if using) over the marinara sauce, arranging them evenly.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.

                Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
