Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Bacon
- 10 ounces Frozen chopped spinach
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Scallions, finely chopped
- Tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, place on paper towels to drain, and crumble it into small pieces.
Thaw the frozen spinach and drain it thoroughly. Use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the cream cheese mixture and mix well.
Stir in the thawed spinach, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon (reserve a small amount for garnish), and chopped scallions. Mix until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges.
If desired, switch the oven to broil for 1-2 minutes to brown the top slightly. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional crumbled bacon and chopped scallions. Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
