Franken-Spinach Monster Dip is a warm, gooey delight bursting with vibrant green color, perfect for your Halloween party.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 8 oz fresh or frozen spinach, sautéed and chopped
  • 1 can artichoke hearts, drained
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or your favorite cheese blend
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Few drops neon green food coloring (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Spinach: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the spinach, sautéing for 3-5 minutes until wilted. Drain excess water, chop, and set aside.
  2. Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Incorporate the Ingredients: Fold in the chopped spinach and artichoke hearts into the mixture. Add shredded cheddar cheese and mix until evenly distributed.
  4. Color It Up: Add a few drops of neon green food coloring and stir until the color is uniform throughout.
  5. Bake the Dip: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden.
  6. Serve Warm: Let cool for a few minutes before serving warm with tortilla chips, veggies, or sliced baguette.

Notes

  • Ensure spinach is thoroughly drained to avoid a watery dip.
  • Customize cheese according to preference for added flavor.
