The Perfect Spinach Dip
This a great hot spinach dip recipe, loaded with flavor from both fresh spinach and ranch seasoning mix! We are big veggie lovers in our household! While I do love a traditional cold spinach dip recipe, there’s really nothing quite like a hot bubbly cheese dip out of the oven!
Adding diced peppers to this dip makes for great flavor! While I used fresh spinach in this recipe, of course you can substitute frozen chopped spinach as well! Be sure to squeeze it to drain well. This Ranch Spinach dip recipe is packed with spinach and peppers and fully loaded with flavor!
How to Make Spinach Dip
This dip is easy to make and has so much great flavor! Here are a few tips to make sure you have spinach dip perfection!
- Use a hand mixer to combine the cream cheese, this makes it softer and easier to scoop.
- Squeeze all of the water you can out of the spinach.
- Change the cheeses to your favorites, a bit of gruyere or cheddar are great in this recipe.
- Low fat or light products can be used in this recipe.
- Make up to 48 hours in advance and refrigerate. May need a bit of extra cook time if it’s chilled.
Make Ahead Spinach Cheese Dip
Not only is it perfect for any gathering, this spinach dip recipe can actually be prepared a day in advance and put it in the oven just before serving!
Either take it out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking or add a few minutes extra bake time.
