Easy Baked Cheese Skillet dip
Because our recipe uses frozen roll dough, it makes assembling this recipe easy for even a beginner cook! The hardest part is waiting for the rolls to rise. Plus – you can’t beat the ease of cooking and serving from the same pan.

If you’re transporting this dish, assemble at home and then slightly reheat (or bake completely) at your landing place and serve hot out of the oven.

Skillet dip made in a cast iron pan
The cast iron pan bakes the rolls and cheese dip to perfection, and we love the rustic charm of serving directly from the pan. Cast iron retains its heat, keeping the cheese and rolls warm for serving. Tie a bandana around the handle for easy carrying and a colorful touch.

Easy 3 Cheese Skillet Dip

Ingredients
- 16 pieces frozen dinner roll dough, such as Rhodes brand dough
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, such as Kraft (in the green shaker bottle)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups (8 ounces) grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 cups (8 ounces) grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons Mrs. Dash or spice blend of your choice
Instructions
- Line the edges of a seasoned 12-inch cast iron skillet with frozen roll dough and place in a warm area to rise.
- In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and mix together slowly until combined.
- 30 minutes before the rolls are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place rack in the center of the oven.
- When the dough has risen, generously brush with melted butter. Sprinkle rolls with Parmesan cheese.
- Place the cheese mixture in the center of the skillet.
- Bake for 17-20 minutes, until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese dip has melted. If the dough needs a little more time, place a sheet of aluminum foil over the rolls and continue to bake about 5 minutes, until cooked through.
- Remove skillet from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
