Instructions
- Brown Italian sausage and set aside.
- In a large bowl add cream cheese, seasonings, 3/4 of both shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese, diced onions and peppers, and black olives.

- Mix well then smooth out in a 9 x 13 casserole dish.

- Add remaining cheeses and sausage/pepperoni.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees uncovered for 30 min.

Notes
Use pre shredded cheese if you prefer, I just usually shred my own bc it melts better. You could add a little bacon or ham as well although we thought it might be too much.
Question?
I spotted a green leaf in the mixture is that possibly baby spinach?
Thanks in advance.
Basil!
