SuperBowl is just around the corner. Sadly Seahawks wont be there this year and Russell will be missed.

I whipped up this Pizza dip in the half time of the last game. At the end of the video, Chewie was barking away because of the high energy of the last quarter. He knows when his daddy is worked up. We ate half of the dip with the warmed up mini wheat pita breads and later used the rest to make pizza grilled sandwiches! Dip between 2 slices, with some other veggies and greens thrown in, grill and serve.

There are layers of Pizza sauce, sauteed herbed mushrooms and onions, vegan mozzarella style cream sauce, layered with some tomato slices, olives and finished with fresh basil and pepper flakes. The cream sauce has starches that thicken and do their starchy thing during the baking. When the dip is hot out of the oven, there is a cheesy stringy texture and flavor all mixed up with the pizza sauce and mushrooms and olives. All the mess that a pizza dip should be.
