HOT MEXICAN SPINACH DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

• Bake mixture in the preheated oven 12 to 15 minutes, or until bubbly.

MEXICAN SPINACH DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a 2 quart or 9x13 inch casserole dish, combine the cream cheese, sour cream and processed cheese. Heat in the microwave until ingredients are soft enough to stir together, about 1 minute. Stir in the shredded cheese, diced tomatoes with chilies, spinach and taco seasoning mix. Spread evenly.
• Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle tomatoes and green onions on top before serving. This can also be made ahead of time, refrigerated, and baked just before serving.

MEXICAN SPINACH CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Combine and chop together in food processor spinach, cream cheese, half-and-half and cheese.
• Sauté together in oil the onion/scallions and peppers for a few minutes, just until softened.
• Fold onion/peppers into cheese/spinach mixture.
• Halve crosswise, squeeze out seeds and cut tomatoes into ½" cubes.
• Fold tomatoes into mixture; if mixture seems too thick, fold in up to ½ cup more half-and-half.
• Oil or butter a casserole dish and pour in dip.
• Loosely lay a piece of foil over the top - do NOT seal - you can remove this to let the edges brown a bit, but place it back on if things start to get too crispy.
• Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until mixture is bubbly hot.
• The dip will be looser when hot but will set up thicker as it cools.
