I really liked the concept of a pizza dip. I would suggest cutting down on the sour cream and I really wasn't sold on the taste of the homemade sauce, but this dip would be really good with your favorite store bought pizza sauce. I skipped the bacon due to my families preference. I made this with regular sour cream and regular cream cheese because that is what I had on hand. My family won't go low fat yet. I made this for My-3-Chefs.
