A perfect party snack, serve this in a toasted bread bowl for an outstanding presentation. When all the dip is used up from the excess bread, just pie slice the bread bowl and voila!, there's more. Also great served with crostini bread, tortillas, Doritos, or other type of chips, :) Ingredients:
10 ounces chopped spinach, thawed and drained well |
14 ounces artichoke hearts, drained and chopped |
1 small onion, chopped |
1 cup mayonnaise |
8 ounces cream cheese |
6 ounces queso fresco (queso melting cheese) |
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or 1 tablespoon chopped jalapeno) |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled |
Directions:
1. OVEN: Preheat oven to 350°F Combine all ingredients and bake in an ovenproof casserole dish for 25-30 minutes until bubbly.
2. MICROWAVE: Combine all ingredients except bacon in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes then stir well. Repeat this step 3 more times or until cheese is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Stir in the crumbled bacon during the final heating or sprinkle on top.
