Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound ground Italian sausage
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 10 ounces frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the ground Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Add the thawed and drained spinach, cooked sausage, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling around the edges and golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let the dip cool slightly before serving.
Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy!
