Hawaiian Pizza Dip -Oven or Little Dipper Crock Pot

Can you feel the excitement of playoff football in the near future??? Big games call for great snacks and this Hawaiian Pizza Dip is a winner! Mix, do a little layering and bake (or add to your Little Dipper Crock Pot) and you'll have a hearty munchie that's ~almost~ as substantial as lunch... It's also a nice way to use up some leftover ham. I whipped this up as an appy for Sunday dinner and it was a big hit, my favorite dipper was the bagel chips, you can even find them at Dollar Tree. Don't hesitate to give this a try folks, it's good stuff:@)
Recipe is easily cut in half or even less, 
just guesstimate, it doesn't need to be exact.

Hawaiian Pizza Dip-from Three Boys and a Dog
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 C shredded mozzarella cheese-divided
1/4 C parmesan
14 oz jar pizza sauce
1/4 C diced onion-I forgot this
1 tsp garlic powder
8 oz ham, chopped
8 oz crushed pineapple, drained well
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes-optional
Dippers: Crackers, Frito Scoops, French bread, Melba toast, bagel chips, etc.
  1. Mix cream cheese, 1C mozzarella, parmesan, pizza sauce, onion, and garlic powder. 
  2. Pour into sprayed baking dish. I used a shallow 23 oz Corelle dish for half of the recipe. I'm guessing a 1 quart to 1 1/2 quart would be fine for the whole recipe. Or even a pie dish.
  3. Sprinkle on top, ham, pineapple, the other 1C of mozzarella, top with the Italian Seasoning and pepper flakes if using. I just added a few shakes of the pepper flakes.
  4. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until top is lightly browned. 
  5. Alternately: Mix everything, add to Little Dipper Crock Pot, place paper towels under lid, plug in for about 2 1/2-3 hours.
Enjoy a snack and have a happy day:@)
