Cream Cheese Spinach Dip

Cream Cheese Spinach Dip

Here's a creamy cheesy Spinach dip recipe with a Mexican flair. Goes great with Mexican food or soup and sandwiches. Also makes an excellent dish to take with tortilla chips to your next finger food social. Would look spectacular served in a tea light fondu warmer. (I don't have a fondu warmer but I think they are super cute serving pieces) ;-)

Ingredients:

1 pkg cream cheese, room temp

1/2 box of frozen spinach, thawed

1 can tomatoes and green chilies, undrained

1 cup shredded Mexican blend Cheese

1 tsp liquid smoke

1 tsp salt 

Dash of pepper

Combine all ingredients

in oven safe dish. 

Blend until smooth and creamy. 

Bake in 350° oven until hot and bubbly and slightly browned on top. I like to bake until bubbling around edges then I turn the broiler on for just a couple minutes to brown the top. 

Bake approximately 20 mins. 

Serve warm with tortilla chips.
