To Die For Spinach Dip

Simple, creamy, luscious and TO DIE FOR come to mind when you dip a chip into this wonderfully delicious (and simple!) Spinach Dip; a dip that will certainly have your guests wanting to double dip!

Helllooooo world!!!

My name is Michelle and I am seriously, I mean SERIOUSLY, addicted to Spinach Dip. How serious you ask?

Before concocting a recipe for this deliciously creamy, luscious and simple (!!!) dip, I’d found myself going to restaurants to get a fix. An unhealthy, eat the whole appetizer for supper, type fix – and this, definitely needed changing.

It did, but now whenever guests are coming over can you guess what I’m making? YES. This awesome recipe! PS. I’ve made it twice in the past five days.

Start, you guessed it, by softening and slightly caramelizing an onion in a bit of oil. I use oil out of habit, a combo of oil and butter or just butter will also do. But whatever you choose, the process is going to make your apartment, condo, house smells amazeballs.

Warning: It may also make your guests think you’ve been hard at work preparing a great spread for their taste buds. You, dear reader, will know that it wasn’t hard at all – but your guests don’t need to know that (obviously mine know now)! But nonetheless…

After rendering those onions to a translucent verging on honey-colored goodness, spinach is added with cream cheese and cooking cream. Mixed all together you get a thick dip that will certainly break any chip that tries to swipe a section.

So, because no one wants chip casualties broken in the bowl with no hope at recovery, more cooking cream is added and simmered down to the best consistency with a little salt and pepper.

I call this consistency: the guests are here consistency because the minute they enter the door and are settled I’m going to serve this dip, warm right out of the skillet with whatever consistency it has. Honestly, have no shame, you don’t need a fancy bowl when the dip is this good.

However, as a rule of thumb, the best consistency is when you scrape a section and it takes a while for the section to cover back up with the dip.

My favorite chip: pita chips! Not homemade ones, however, they might not be sturdy enough. I grab a bag of Stacy’s Pita Chips, but any good chip or cracker will be great!

Hope you enjoy!
