Units
Scale
- 8 ounces pepperoni slices
- 1 pint sour cream
- Bread or chips, for dipping
Instructions
- Chop Pepperoni: Place pepperoni slices in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, almost like crumbs. (You can also do this by hand with a sharp knife.)
- Combine and Chill: In a bowl, combine the chopped pepperoni with sour cream and mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least a few hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Stir the dip before serving and enjoy with your favorite bread or chips.
Notes
- Chilling is Key: Chilling the dip overnight significantly enhances the flavor.
- Sturdy Dippers: Use sturdy chips or bread that won’t break easily when dipping.
- Flavor Variations:
- Add chives, onion, or jalapeño to the sour cream for extra zest.
- Make it spicy with hot sauce, red pepper flakes, or diced jalapeños.
- Mix in shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan) for extra richness.
- Prep Ahead: Chop the pepperoni in advance and store it in the refrigerator for quicker assembly.
- Storage: Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
