I'm a busy stay-at-home mom with a 3-year-old son. I love this recipe because it's easy to prepare in advance and keep refrigerated. Put it in the oven when guests arrive, and by the time you've poured beverages, the dip is ready. It gets gobbled up quickly! -Karen Riordan, Fern Creek, Kentucky

This was a big hit at a holiday gathering! I took several of the other reviewers' suggestions and reduced the proportion of shredded cheese to pizza sauce - I used 1/2 cup of sauce and 1 cup each of the cheeses; yummy - came home with an empty dish. So good.

This was not nearly so well received as our buffalo wing dip. I will not make it again as written. The cream cheese needs warmed and mixed in with the other ingredients prior to baking. We would also decrease the ratio of cheese to sauce.

It's so nice to see my recipe on line after all these years!! The son I mention in the description is now 20 years old. Still a wonderful son and a great recipe ?

I made this dip for a dinner party and everyone couldn't stop eating it and asked for the recipe! I used light cream cheese, 1 cup of sauce, sliced green onions instead of peppers, and turkey pepperoni on top.

I have been making this recipe for years and anyone who has it wants the recipe. Even my teenage boys make it. I sometimes put pepperoni slices on it.

I used fat free cream cheese and half of the cheese to make it healthier and we still loved it!
