Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain, and chop into small pieces once cooled.
In the same skillet, leave about 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings. Add the olive oil, and then add the onion. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, cooking until wilted (about 2-3 minutes), then remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Fold the caramelized onions, wilted spinach, chopped bacon, ¾ cup of shredded mozzarella, and ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese into the cream cheese mixture.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly. Top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and the cheese on top is golden brown.
Serve warm with crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy!
