ROASTED GARLIC AND BACON SPINACH DIP



Roasted Garlic and Bacon Spinach Dip image

This creamy bacon spinach dip is like regular hot spinach dip, but turned up a notch with extra flavor. Enjoy crispy bacon, plenty of roasted garlic, and extra parmesan cheese in each bite. You can bake this dip in a 2.5 quart baking dish or in individual ramekins. Serve warm with crunchy fresh vegetables, crackers, pita chips, pretzel bites, or crusty homemade bread.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 slices bacon
4 cups fresh spinach*
8 ounces brick-style cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/3 cup plain full fat regular or Greek yogurt or sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup shredded or shaved parmesan cheese, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
3 cloves roasted garlic, chopped
for serving: toasted pita crackers, chips, carrots, celery, etc.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) degrees.
  • Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Turn off the heat, transfer cooked bacon to paper towel lined plate, and remove all but 1 Tablespoon of bacon grease from the pan. Once bacon has cooled down enough to handle, chop into bite-size pieces.
  • Turn the skillet with 1 Tablespoon of bacon grease on low heat. Cook spinach for 1-2 minutes or until wilted. Turn off heat and set spinach aside.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, yogurt/sour cream, and mayonnaise together on medium-high speed until creamy and smooth. Add 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese, the salt, pepper, and roasted garlic. Fold in the spinach and all but 2 Tablespoons of the chopped bacon.
  • Spoon the dip into a 2.5 quart baking dish, such as a 9-inch square baking pan, 9-inch cast iron skillet, 9-inch pie dish, or anything close to that size. In these photos, I used a 7×11 inch baking dish which holds the same volume. Bake for 18 minutes, remove from the oven, sprinkle evenly with remaining parmesan cheese and chopped bacon. Return to the oven and bake until the dip is bubbly around the edges, about 5-8 more minutes.
  • Serve dip warm. Cover leftovers tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 300°F (149°C) degree oven until the sides are bubbly again.

CREAMY DREAMY SPINACH, ONION, AND BACON DIP



Creamy Dreamy Spinach, Onion, and Bacon Dip image

From my favorite gal of all time!! Dip may made up to 2 days ahead of time, covered and refrigerated. Let stand 20 minutes before baking as directed. (These are Paula's directions, but I had to bake for a few minutes more, as well as place under the broiler for a few minutes to get the top browned). Prep time does not include thawing time for spinach and onions.

CREAMY CHEESY SPINACH DIP



Creamy Cheesy Spinach Dip image

This recipe doesn't contain mayo or sour cream like most, so it's very cheesy and very delicious. I'm asked for the recipe every time I make it. For those who don't want a strong cheese like Cheddar, you can replace it with anything you like or even leave it out altogether. I like adding the Cheddar because it adds color and a little more flavor.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh spinach, sweet onions, and smoky bacon are essential.

  • Let the dip cool slightly before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken.
  • Serve the dip with a variety of dippers, such as crackers, chips, vegetables, or bread.
