- Smoke at 300° for 30 minutes to melt.

- Return the dish to the smoker and continue cooking for another 20 minutes more.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping options.
Notes
- The dip is heavy and these disposable trays are flimsy so to make it sturdier and safer to remove from the smoker when hot I recommend doubling them up for added support.
- You can use any wood chips you'd like but I do recommend a milder wood like apple wood.
- Not a fan of pepperoni? Top the dip with mushrooms or black olives instead.
