Creamy Cheesy Spinach Dip

I loved this. I rarely make spinach dip because it has so much mayo, but this is a better alternative, and very, very tasty. I halved it, used mozarella and another cheese I had in the fridge, and served it as a side dish with sausages and macaroni. Unlike the other reader, I actually added a bit more onion and garlic. I think I'll experiment and add other ingredients, such as carrots or nuts, in the future.

This recipe was great!! I halved the ingredients and left out the onion due to personal preference. but it was quick and fantastic. I also used a bit of parm cheese as well.

Really, a very good dip. This is one of those recipes I would say you could mess with the proportions to your hearts content and it would still taste really good. And if you wanted to toss in a can of artichoke hearts, it instantly becomes delicious spinach artichoke dip. Only change I made was that I used the entire block of cream cheese rather than just 6 table spoons. It seems silly just to leave 2 tablespoons and other reviewers said it was much too spinachy. For what it's worth, I disagree with them. There is a lot of spinach, but I think spinach dip should have a lot of spinach. I think some people want a cheese dip with a little bit of spinach in it. I would also say the time as a suggestion and I might lower the temperature of the oven because putting it in for 20 minutes made that top layer of cheese more of a crest then a layer of melting cheese. I'd taken it out a couple of minutes sooner it might have been melty with just little brown spots like on the picture for this recipe. Instead I got more like a crust. It was delicious, but I would've preferred it more gooey so keep your eye on it when it's in the oven. And always remember, there is no such thing as too much cheese. You want to throw in a couple more handfuls, who's to stop you?

Good. Added more onion and garlic than says. But would have used less spinach. Would like to try again with maybe a can of Cheddar Cheese soup to add more creamy cheese. Just too much spinach for me.

This was absolutely delicious. It was a huge hit over the 4th and was gone in record time! Definitely worth doing again. I used fresh Spinach instead of frozen. If you do this, add some water to it otherwise it will burn.

It was good but the spinach flavor was a little strong. May try again but want some more cheese. It came together very quickly and I surprised my husband with the dip, tortilla chips and beer when he came home Friday after work. Fun!

I made this for a baby shower and everyone loved it! Using cream cheese instead of mayonnaise adds a richer and creamier flavor!

I just made the spinach cheese dip for the first time for our daughter to take to her office. I am going to put it in the refrigerator when it cools off. She is taking it to work tomorrow. However, she says she doesn't want to go to another floor to use their microwave oven to heat it up. Can it be eaten cold? I bought crackers to go with it. I will try heating it up early tomorrow morning on a lower oven temperature like 250 degrees for 10 minutes or so.

This recipe is delicious! I make it everytime I have friends over or just because. Everytime I have to give the recipe. I add more cheddar cheese and parmasen for an extra cheese flavor. Thank you for this !

It needs a lot seasoning to help it along and it just wasn't super creamy inside. I would more than likely use this recipe to make spinach cakes or just as a straight up side dish over a dip. Also you have to really press out the extra liquid on the spinach and pay extra close attention to the milk and cream cheese otherwise you will make cottage cheese in a pot from adding cold cheese to warmish milk. Best to add these two at the same time or do the cream cheese first. As for the seasoning which I mentioned before, the spinach flavor is very heavy and you will probably want to add more salt and pepper as you go along.

Great recipe! Enjoyed by family while watching the Rose Bowl. Definitely a keeper recipe.

Pretty good and easy. I added a little cayenne pepper for some kick, and didn't put extra cheese on top - with those updates it was great for me.

This is definitely for spinach lovers. Way too much spinach for my family, will cut it to 1/3 next time.

Have made it many times and absolutely love this recipe, so does the whole family! Even doubled it up once and it still came out perfect!

Awesomely rich

I had never made spinach dip before but this recipe was amazing! i used a food processor to quicken prep and it worked great. My boyfriend almost ate the whole thing himself!

I made this delicious dip but i had to add a couple spoons of sour cream. Made it much creamier and it gave it that bit of tang it needed. I also added some Monterey cheese. So yummy.

I made this last night for work party. Very good exactly as written. The recipe made a good sized bowl. As a side, paired with little toasted french bread slices, the recipe easily fed a dozen people. My only suggestion is a personal preference, I would add a little more salt. Or perhaps garlic salted the bread slices. Either would be great. :)

Everyone loved it !

I liked it a lot! I followed some suggestions and added all of the cream cheese (8oz) and increased the mozzarella. I skipped the cheddar because I did not have any and only used a small shallot for the onion. It tastes great but I got a few comments that it just tastes like cheese, which I'm just fine with personally! Next time I might add more spinach or onion to flavour it up a bit more. I heated up some pita bread and nachos and it was very nice :)

I've been looking for an extra creamy spinach dip recipe without the artichokes. Finally I've found a great one. I like the fact that there is no mayo or sour cream in this recipe. The first time I made this it was really very good. The second time I spiced it up a bit. I made it as is but added pepper jack cheese and a little cayenne pepper. I also added more cheese than it called for. You can never have enough cheese!! My family raves over this recipe. One of the easiest and best recipes in my recipe box. I made in in about 40 minutes which is good for me as I am handicapped. Thanks missbrianna!

Was okay, but just not creamy enough for me. The spinach and artichoke dip with mayo is better, but this one is vegetarian so that's a bonus.

I really like this recipe and will be making it again for gatherings. I had a lot of swiss chard from the garden this year so I used 10 oz of swiss chard instead of spinach and I threw in a handful of real bacon bits, it came out really good! Everyone loved it including 3 teenagers! I served mine in a bread bowl and we used bread for dipping. It is pretty spinachy but like someone else said I think this is a recipe you can mess around with and it will still be good. So if you like more of a cheese dip with some leafy greens use less spinach, if you like more of a green dip with cheese then use the full 10oz.

I made it but put shredded sharp cheddar on top to bake. It tasted great before I baked it. Looking forward to eating it.

A good base to add your favorite flavors to. It was thick and cheesy, but bland. I added garlic salt, Texas Pete, crushed red pepper, and quite a bit more milk than the recipe calls for. I cooked it on the stove as directed and served it in my small Crockpot. My kids love it.

Great recipe! I added a cup of crab meat and a tablespoon of Old Bay!

I pretty much followed the recipe, except I added a bit of sour cream and I forgot to include the Worcestershire sauce. Its a great dip!

I made this before but I use just about the same ingredients just this time I forgot to buy cream cheese so it didn't really make a difference my son said it tasted the same my daughter said she thought something was missing it was her first time having it from me anyway I added queso blanco into instead of the cream cheese it was delicious

Made it twice. Didnt enjoy the texture. Found it more mushy then stringy. Added less cream cheese the second time and still a weird texture. Couldn't eat any batch.

Simple and oh so yummy. I added a little parmesan cheese on top, next time I will be adding bacon.

I added extra cheddar and mozza cheese, and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese. Delicious!!

Always always a requested crowd pleaser! I beefed up my garlic, cheese, spinach, and Worcestershire too. Pretty much a full proof recipe.

I loved it my family wants it all the time

This is the best spinach dip I’ve ever had. I didn’t really want to crust on it so I just put it in the oven until melted and bubbling.

This was delicious but I had no idea it would take so many steps to make spinach dip. I will look for a simpler recipe

Just ok....not our favorite

IT WAS EXTREMELY DRY. IF I FIXED IT AGAIN I PROBABLY WOULDN'T SQUEEZE ALL THE MOISTURE OUT OF THE SPINACH.

Not creamy at all, bland and tastes only like spinach.

i added a little more milk and cheese..also added garlic powder..delicious

I made this spinach dip. I like my spinach dip, so I think I'll adjust by lowering the amount of spinach and using more cheese instead. But all in all, this method was still really good.

I make this recipe every time. I usually omit the milk.

If you're craving comfort food or something rich and delicious this is the perfect healthy alternative. Wheat and gluten free and if you want you can use all organic ingredients like I did. Loved it! :))

Very tasty and so filling! I added triple the garlic for that extra kick and had it with a bit of baguette. Also I leave it in the oven for a bit longer, so the top gets all brown and yummy. Also the amount of cream cheese is about 3/4 of a brick, just to save you from measuring ;)

This was delicious! I only made half for two of us, Perfect amount for yummy snack on Christmas Eve.

Loved this!! Quick and easy and had a great taste and texture. I used a little less spinach and a little more cheese and it worked out perfect. Definitely recommend.

So simple and phenomenal! I added a red bell pepper to it with the onion and it added great flavor.

Used one package of spinach instead of two

I really didnt enjoy it so am going to try a different tomorrow. It looked and tastes AMAZING before I put it in the oven but once it came out it looked beautiful but it's like the heat over cooked the cheese, which I didnt even leave it in the full time, and turn the dip into spinach with melted cheese on top. it wasnt creamy anymore at all...

Added a small amount of both cheeses so it is extra cheesy.

Omg this was absolutely delicious. this was my first time trying it and my family loved it. I used only half the spinach and it was perfect

Loved it! definitely use less spinach and more cheese. Brought it to a party and it was gone in 30 minutes.

I followed the recipe. I made no adjustments. I will make this again! Very easy.

Made it directly as written. My daughter swiped some"lol",as soon as it came out of the oven.it was great, will make it again.

Fantastic! And very easy to make.

We LOVE this recipe. I always add way more cheese & tonight I've added lobster. We always order spinach did as a starter when we eat out and is say this is on par and even better than some dips we've ordered.

it didn't really have a kick to it so I added a pinch of Chile peppers

I made this and it is very tasty. I substituted organic fresh spinach. The mozzarella on top got a little too dark.

Very easy to make. I halved most the ingredients. Based on the reviews, I used less spinach and a tad more cream cheese. Added a dash of salt for taste. Very pleased

I am addicted to this dip. It’s worth taking a pill for (lactose intolerant).

Great dip if you like cream cheese, because that's mostly what it taste like.... hot cream cheese. The cream cheese overpowers the flavor of the dip, obscuring the spinach, onion and garlic. Still a decent recipe if you dislike mayo and or sour cream.

I used all cheddar cheese and mozzarella for the topping and fresh spinach as opposed to frozen spinach. Next time I'll add artichokes!

Followed the exact recipe hoping to get the same result. 1st time I followed a recipe to a T. Looked nothing like the picture. Added more shredded cheese and parmesian cheese. Turned out great!

Most of my family liked it. Used Jalepeño sour cream instead, and it turned out great!

I made this for my mother-in-law's birthday party and it went over really well..I am, however, very bad at following recipes exactly and needed more than this was supposed to make so I didn't follow the recipe to a T. It was an amazing guideline. I think I accidentally added a little less spinach and more cheddar. I also forgot salt and pepper, but it still had great flavour without!

Absolutely Delicious. I had to adapt slightly to what I had, (Fresh Spinach) and Manchego Cheese, But It was just soo good. I do not need to try any other Spinach Cheese Dips. Next time I will get the cheddar and Mozzarella!!! But I will stick with the fresh spinach!

I made this and loved it. Only thing I'd do different would be to add more bacon next time. Delicious!

I made it and taste amazing

I added another block of cream cheese and another 1/2 cup of milk to make it a little more creamy. I also topped it with feta crumbles. Everyone loved it.

I added some chili powder and halved the amount of spinach and OMG this was the best thing I’ve ever made in my life. So easy and so delicious. 10/10

This is a comfort food classic! I tend to add a little extra cream cheese when I make this though. Oh! AndI also save some to roll up in chicken before baking it in the oven for dinner as well! An easy peasy stuffed chicken like meal,

It is a great one.
