Spinach Dip To Die For!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. This dish can be baked in anything approximately 7 x7. I use a glass pie pan usually. Spray lightly with oil.

Put spinach in colander and run hot water over it until it is loose and thawed. Then take a few paper towels and dry it a bit. It does not need to be dry, just not soaking wet.

Put all other ingredients into a medium bowl and mush with your hands. If you are scared or grossed out right now and don’t want to mess up your hands, it will take you longer, but just use a spoon. If I ever meet you in person, just know I will call you a coward. Mix until everything is loosely combined. It is okay if the cream cheese is still in small bits. Those are the extra tasty bites!

Next, spoon this gooey, gushy mess into your pan and pop it into the oven for about 40 minutes. It is done when the sides are bubbly and the middle is lightly browned. Sometimes I broil it for a few minutes to give it a crusty top.

While waiting those painstakingly long 40 minutes, take in a deep breath and savor the aroma coming out of the oven. It is a nice break from the aroma of dog that usually envelops my home.

Finally, dip a tortilla chip in and wait because it’s so stinkin’ hot that your mouth will burn and not in a good way. Give it a few good blows and indulge. Share with friends or put in a movie and eat the whole dish by yourself. Don’t feel bad because there are veggies in it!
