Superbowl Snack

Superbowl Sunday is the second largest eating day next to Thanksgiving. Americans apparently LOVE holidays focused around food! One of my friends was having a party yesterday and I couldn't show up empty handed so I decided to make Pizza Dip with Garlic Bread sticks. It was a recipe I had been eager to try and what better occasion than Superbowl! Pictures just don't do it justice.

Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Dip
3/4 cup chopped pepperoni
1 can  (15 oz) pizza sauce
4 green onions, finely chopped
1 can (2-1/4 oz) sliced  black olives, drained
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1-1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 package (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 package (8 oz) refrigerated breadstick dough
1 Tablespoon butter, melted
2 teaspoons minced parsley
In a heavy pot, over medium heat, combine pepperoni, sliced olives,  green onions, oregano and pizza sauce.  Cook until heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add cream cheese and mozzarella cheese.  Stir until melted and mixture is well combined.  Turn heat to low while preparing the breadsticks.  Stir occasionally.
Remove breadsticks from tube and cook according to package directions.  If you are really fancy, clever and an over-achiever, you could make these from scratch. 
When breadsticks are finished baking, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with parsley.
