This is the ultimate spinach dip recipe! I’ve eaten spinach dip so many times in my life, but this one beats them all. It is cheesy, creamy, garlicky, and perfect with fresh veggies or crackers.

SERVINGS: 8

INGREDIENTS

12 oz bacon cooked until crisp and crumbled

4 oz cream cheese

 ¼ cup mayo

 ¼ cup sour cream

1 tsp garlic powder

 ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

16 oz frozen spinach thawed and drained well

6 oz shredded mozzarella

INSTRUCTIONS

01. Preheat oven to 350.

02. Cook bacon until crisp, drain, and crumble or chop it into small pieces.

 03. In a large bowl mix the cream cheese, mayo, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese. Mix in the spinach, half the bacon, and half the mozzarella.

04. Spread on a deep dish pie plate. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and bacon on top.

05. Bake at 350 until hot and bubbly. About 15 minutes.

NOTES: Alternatively, you can microwave the dip for about 5 minutes. The only downside to microwaving is the cheese doesn’t get golden on top. But on a hot summer day that is a sacrifice I am willing to make. Also, if you are an artichoke fan, feel free to add some for a Bacon Caesar Spinach Artichoke Dip.
