Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray pan with non-stick spray. Roll the pizza dough into about 1-inch-sized balls and line the entire perimeter of the pan with dough balls. Also, run a line down the center and across to create a barrier for 4 dips. I used around 64 small balls of dough.
2
Mix up the ingredients for each dip separately, and spread each into its own section on the pan, keeping them in the four separate corners. Use a small kitchen brush to brush a little olive oil over the top of the pizza dough balls.
3
Bake the entire pan for about 25-30 minutes until the dips are bubbling, and the pizza dough balls are cooked and slightly browned.
4
Remove from oven and add any desired garnish to the top. Serve warm and enjoy!
Hip tips for making the best sheet pan cheese dip:
- These are four cream cheese dips I chose to feature and use; however, you could easily change up any of these to suit your family’s taste.
- I decided to use pre-made pizza dough for convenience (found in my grocery store’s deli section), but you could always make a few batches of homemade pizza dough instead. If you’re keeping things low-carb, try making fat-head dough balls!
- You’ll need a very large sheet pan for this recipe to make sure it all fits! I am using a 15 x 21 inch size sheet pan in my recipe.
- Consider adding a small cheese spread knife to each of the four dips so it’s easier to serve.
We LOVED this easy cheesy appetizer so much!
The result is a delicious sheet pan of irresistible cheese dips that all will love! This would be a perfect recipe to keep in mind for gatherings or any uponlineing sports-watching parties.
My family was super impressed with this spread and I know your family will be, too!
Hip Tip: Eating keto or having a family member living a low-carb life? Serve a bowl of celery on the side so you can enjoy the yummy dips, too!
