Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp Dan-O’s Italian-O™ Seasoning
• 1 tbsp Dan-O’s Cheesoning® Seasoning or Red Pepper Cheesoning® for a spicy kick
• 1 cup pepperoni slices
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (2 tsp jarred garlic)
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
• 1/3 cup pitted black olives, chopped
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or spray
• 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.

2. Dice most of the pepperoni, leave a few whole or diced for the top.

3. Heat a medium cast-iron or ovenproof skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the diced pepperoni and cook, stirring, until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onions, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the onions are tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

4. Stir in the tomato paste and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Stir in the can of tomatoes and their juice and 1 tbsp Dan-O’s Italian-O^™.

5. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.

6. While that’s cooking, grab a baking sheet and lay the baguette slices on it and spray with olive oil (or brush on) and sprinkle with Italian-O. Bake until crisp, about 7-9 minutes.

7. Stir in the olives, 1 tbsp Cheesoning^® and Parmesan into the skillet and remove from the heat.

8. Make sure bread is removed form oven and preheat the broiler.

9. Sprinkle the mozzarella and remaining pepperoni on top of sauce. Place skillet under the broiler about 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.

10. Serve dip warm with the toasted baguette slices.
