How To Make peggi's spinach dip
-
Step 1COOK BACON & CHOP UP OR CRUMBLE. SET ASIDE.
-
Step 2LET SPINACH THAW OUT. SQUEEZE OUT & DRAIN. PUT ALL INGREDIENTS, EXCEPT TOMATOES & ONIONS & BACON, IN LARGE MICROWAVEABLE BOWL & HEAT ON HIGH IN MICROWAVE UNTIL ALL CHEESE IS MELTED. TAKES ABOUT 6-8 MINUTES. STIR EVERY 2 MINUTES TO KEEP IT FROM SCORCHING.
-
Step 3TAKE OUT OF MICROWAVE & ADD THE GREEN ONIONS, TOMATOES & BACON.Salt well to taste. This is what really flavors it. SERVE WARM WITH PITA CHIPS OR MISSION CHIPS.
-
Step 4ONE OPTION IS TO PLACE DIP IN A HOLLOWED OUT ROUND LOAF OF CRUSTY ITALIAN BREAD. CUT TOP OFF OF BREAD SO BOTTOM LOOKS MUCH LIKE A BOWL. USING HAND, SCOOP OUT BREAD INSIDE, LEAVING MOSTLY JUST CRUST. FILL WITH SPINACH DIP & SERVE THAT WAY. EAT THE BOWL AFTERWARDS.
