• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  
• 1 cup pizza sauce

• 10 slices pepperoni
  
• 3 tablespoons green bell pepper, diced
  
• 3 tablespoons black olives, sliced
  
• 1/4 cup mushrooms, sliced

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese and spices. Spread mixture into the bottom of an oven safe 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Top cream cheese mixture with 1/2 cup mozzarella and spread pizza sauce over it. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the sauce and top with sausage, pepperoni, bell pepper, olives and mushrooms.

Serves 6-8
Cook time: 25 minutes

When tomatoes aren’t at peak season, substitute about 1 cup halved (or quartered if large) cherry tomatoes, as they tend to be more flavorful year-round. This recipe makes enough dip for two bread bowls; alternatively, refrigerate extra and refill one bread bowl.

Ingredients

• 1 medium onion, diced
  
• 2 pepperoncini peppers, thinly sliced
  
• 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, chopped into bite-size pieces
  
• 1 large tomato, diced
  
• 1/4 pound Genoa salami, chopped
  
• 1/4 pound ham, chopped
  
• 1/4 pound prosciutto, chopped
  
• 1/4 pound roast deli turkey, chopped
  
• 1/4 pound provolone cheese, chopped
  
• 1 cup mayonnaise
  
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  
• 3 teaspoons dried basil
  
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  
• 1 6- to 8-inch round loaf Italian bread
  
• 8 hoagie rolls, sliced
  

Combine the chopped vegetables, meats, and cheese in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

In another bowl, mix together mayonnaise, olive oil, oregano, basil and red pepper flakes until combined. Pour the dressing over the vegetable and meat mixture, and stir until everything is evenly coated. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Carve out the center of the loaf of bread to create a bowl. Cut the scraps into bite-size pieces. Spoon the dip into the center of the bread bowl. Serve with sliced hoagie rolls and leftover bread.
