Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh spinach
- 6 slices Bacon
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and roughly chop it. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Set it aside to cool slightly.
In the same skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until well blended and smooth.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Gently fold in the cooked spinach and crumbled bacon, ensuring they are distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, with the edges slightly golden.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Cheddar and Bacon Spinach Dip warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
