I created this dip for my daughter's pizza-themed birthday party. It was an instant hit and I've continued to take it along to other gatherings. Everyone loves it! —Stephanie Gates, Waterloo, Iowa

Test Kitchen tips

One pound of Italian sausage may be substituted for the 1/2 pound ground beef and 1/2 pound pork sausage.

Try topping this dip with sliced olives, pepperoni, or a shake of grated Parm and dried oregano for even bigger pizza flavor.
