Easy cheesy layers of pepperoni pizza dip ingredients are loaded right into your skillet and baked to golden perfection. Skillet dip appetizer for game day.

Hearty appetizers are a big hit in my family between holidays and game days. This amazing one-skillet pepperoni pizza dip is absolutely perfect for almost any occasion. It's incredibly easy recipe to make and really gorgeous to serve as an added bonus. This dip recipe was part of sponsored social media posts I shared a few months ago and wanted to share here, too.

When it comes to the best football game day ideas, this skillet dip could not be more simple to make with very basic ingredients and basic pantry seasonings that most people have on hand. The original recipe that I followed calls for red pepper flakes, which I tend to avoid. I find that swapping any kind of smokey or spicy seasoning can work in it's place. My normal go-to for most swaps is smokey paprika. You could say that I'm a bit obsessed.
