Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 16 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
- 5 ounces frozen spinach
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Whisk together the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, chili powder, red pepper flakes, spinach, and half of the mozzarella cheese in a medium bowl.
- Once the mixture is smooth and homogenous, pour it into a large skillet.
- Top the dip with the remaining cheese and bake the mixture for 20 minutes.
- (Optional) Switch the oven to a high broil and continue baking the dip for 2-3 minutes, or until the top of the dip is golden brown.
- Serve with veggies, chips, etc. and enjoy!
Notes
- In my experience, this dip does not freeze well. Cream cheese based recipes can be frozen, but the texture changes significantly when thawed and reheated.
- To store leftovers, transfer dip to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Reheat in the microwave for 45-90 seconds, depending on portion size.
- For fresh spinach, you will need about 3/4 of a pound of fresh spinach, cooked down to equal about 3/4 of a cup.
