Pretty good! I did an ingredient search & this popped up. I thought it sounded like a yummy hot dip. So I melted everything together. That was good but the leftovers straight from the fridge was good too. So it can go either wayy. Read More

I used fresh chopped spinach instead of frozen (husband preference) and even though I hate this cheese and wouldn't eat it...hubs loved it! I thought it might need an herb or more seasoning but he said no. His rating is perfect as written (fresh spinach instead though). Read More
