Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces fresh spinach
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup half-and-half
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems. Pat dry with paper towels.
Grease the inside of the crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Place the spinach in the crock pot, spreading it out evenly.
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and scatter them on top of the spinach.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese to the crock pot.
Pour in the half-and-half and sprinkle the minced garlic over the mixture.
Dot the mixture with the butter and season with salt and black pepper.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to combine the ingredients and ensure the spinach wilts evenly.
After 2 hours, check that the cheeses have melted completely and the mixture is creamy. Stir well to combine.
Serve warm as a side dish or with tortilla chips, bread, or crackers as a dip. Enjoy!
