Much like pizza itself, this Loaded Pizza Dip is made for customization. Add in all your favorite toppings to make this dip your own. Even pineapple!

The Very Good Butchers are true to their name - they butcher beans to craft delicious plant-based meats! Their mission is to show everyone that making good choices around food doesn’t mean sacrificing flavour. We absolutely love their products, with the meatball and pizza pepperoni being our biggest family favourites. Dip your toe into plant-based meats one at a time or grab a big butcher's box and dive right in!

Loaded Pizza Dip is the dip that dreams are made of!

serves 8-12

Ingredients:

1 tbsp oil
½ lb (about 2 ½ cups) mushrooms, chopped
Salt and pepper
1 pkg Very Good Pepperoni
1 can (213g / 7.5g) pizza sauce
1 container (226g / 8g ) plant-based cream cheese
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp dried basil
½ cup sliced black olives
½ cup plant-based shredded pizza cheese
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
Crackers, for dipping

instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375F, and grease a 9-inch baking dish.
In a mid-sized pan over medium-high heat, add oil and sauté mushrooms for 8-10 mins, or until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Slice ½ of the Very Good Pepperoni into rounds, then cut in half once more.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine pizza sauce, cream cheese, and spices. Using a hand mixer, mix until a consistent, creamy colour. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in mushrooms and chopped pepperoni.
Pour pizza dip into a baking dish and top with pizza cheese followed by pepperoni, black olives, and red pepper flakes.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the dip is bubbling. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving with crackers.

The Very Good Butchers believe in butchering beans, not animals. Fed up with the overly-processed meat alternatives available, the company founders knew they could raise the plant-based bar. The Very Good Butchers make plant-based eating as approachable, nutritious, and delicious as possible by creating food that’s Very Good for people, animals, and the planet (while having a little fun along the way).
