Notes

  • Nutrition information is for dip only and does not include chips or crackers.
  • Spinach: If you prefer to use fresh spinach, substitute a large bunch of spinach (about 1 ½ pounds). Sauté until wilted. Press out excess liquid.
  • Baking directions: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread the dip mixture in a baking dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until dip is heated through and lightly browned on top. 
  • For a smoky cheese dip, use your smoker. Preheat the smoker to 350°F. Spread the dip mixture in a cast iron skillet and smoke for 25 to 30 minutes or until dip is heated through. Another option is to substitute smoked Gouda for the mozzarella cheese, if you like a smoky flavor.
