- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup thick pizza sauce
- ½ teaspoon italian seasoning
- optional topping: sliced pepperoni, olives, or sautéed mushrooms
Instructions
- Lightly grease the inside of a small (2 to 3-quart) slow cooker.

Feel free to customize with your favorite toppings like pepperoni or olives.
For extra flavor, consider adding some crushed red pepper flakes to the dip.
