"Adapted from a recipe I found online at A Farmgirl's Dabbles Blog site. Her recipe called for turkey pepperoni because she felt regular pepperoni was too greasy but I used a really good quality dry pepperoni with excellent results. It is not recommend using low fat or fat free mayo for this recipe. This dip is always the first to go at parties and potlucks. If by any chance you have leftovers, try using the filling in quesadillas. Its excellent. Her Note: This recipe is highly versatile, so feel free to mix it up with your favorite pizza ingredients. I would suggest leaving the first 4 ingredients as the base to the dip. Then just have fun with the rest!"
