Ingredients

1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
6 cups shredded Italian cheese blend or mozzarella cheese, divided
6 tablespoons Parmesan and Romano cheese blend
3/4 cup pizza sauce
17 pieces sliced pepperoni

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450ºF.
In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, 4 cups of shredded cheese and the parmesan/romano cheese blend. Mix well.
Transfer the cheese mixture to a 10″ round skillet or 11×7″ baking dish.
Top with the pizza sauce. Then sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese. Place pepperoni slices on top.
Bake for 14 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly bubbly around the edges.
Then set the broiler to high and broil for 2 minutes. Watch it closely and remove if it starts to get too brown on top.
Serve while warm with sliced Italian bread.

Notes

For the smoothest texture, buy blocks of parmesan and romano and use a microplane cheese grater to grate the cheese very finely. This will help it melt in smoothly.
