Cheesy Pepperoni Bread

Cheesy Pepperoni Bread
from my mom's kitchen
makes about 8 slices

1 Cup Mayonnaise
1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/3 Cup Pepperoni, Slices Cut into Quarters or Eights
1 Teaspoon Chili Powder
Sliced Green Olives (Optional)
Rustic Italian Bread, Sliced (Can Pre-Toast for Extra Crunchy Bites)

Preheat oven on broil.  Mix all ingredients together (except bread), making sure the mixture is very chunky.  Spread the mixture thinly on the bread slices and stick under the broiler for 3-4 minutes or until cheese is melted and the mixture is hot and bubbly.  Serve immediately.

This is my mom's new go-to recipe.  She makes it all the time.  It's perfect with a light main course, like a salad or a piece of fish.  Also perfect for a snack!  She says there is no need to measure the ingredients, it should be very casually thrown together.  Eye-ballin'.  

Chunky mixture

Ready to go in the oven

Broiled and ready to eat!  Well-done in a few spots.
