This recipe doesn't contain mayo or sour cream like most, so it's very cheesy and very delicious. I'm asked for the recipe every time I make it. For those who don't want a strong cheese like Cheddar, you can replace it with anything you like or even leave it out altogether. I like adding the Cheddar because it adds color and a little more flavor.

Creamy Cheesy Spinach Dip

olive oil, divided

onion,

garlic,

spinach

milk

cream cheese

mozzarella cheese

Cheddar cheese

Worcestershire sauce

salt and black pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish with 1 teaspoon olive oil.


Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until lightly browned, 4 to 7 minutes. Add spinach and simmer until spinach is hot, about 5 minutes. Drain any liquid from the mixture and transfer to a bowl.


Pour milk into pot and return pot to medium heat. Melt cream cheese into the milk; cook and stir together about 3 minutes. Return spinach mixture to pot with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese; stir to combine. Season the mixture with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.


Bake in preheated oven until bubbly and golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes.


I loved this. I rarely make spinach dip because it has so much mayo but this is a better alternative and very very tasty. I halved it used mozarella and another cheese I had in the fridge and served it as a side dish with sausages and macaroni. Unlike the other reader I actually added a bit more onion and garlic. I think I'll experiment and add other ingredients such as carrots or nuts in the future.

This recipe was great!! I halved the ingredients and left out the onion due to personal preference. but it was quick and fantastic. I also used a bit of parm cheese as well.

Really a very good dip. This is one of those recipes I would say you could mess with the proportions to your hearts content and it would still taste really good. And if you wanted to toss in a can of artichoke hearts it instantly becomes delicious spinach artichoke dip. Only change I made was that I used the entire block of cream cheese rather than just 6 table spoons. It seems silly just to leave 2 tablespoons and other reviewers said it was much too spinachy. For what it's worth I disagree with them. There is a lot of spinach but I think spinach dip should have a lot of spinach. I think some people want a cheese dip with a little bit of spinach in it. I would also say the time as a suggestion and I might lower the temperature of the oven because putting it in for 20 minutes made that top layer of cheese more of a crest then a layer of melting cheese. I'd taken it out a couple of minutes sooner it might have been melty with just little brown spots like on the picture for this recipe. Instead I got more like a crust. It was delicious but I would've preferred it more gooey so keep your eye on it when it's in the oven. And always remember there is no such thing as too much cheese. You want to throw in a couple more handfuls who's to stop you?

Good. Added more onion and garlic than says. But would have used less spinach. Would like to try again with maybe a can of Cheddar Cheese soup to add more creamy cheese. Just too much spinach for me.

This was absolutely delicious.   It was a huge hit over the 4th and was gone in record time! Definitely worth doing again.  I used fresh Spinach instead of frozen.  If you do this, add some water to it otherwise it will burn.

It was good but the spinach flavor was a little strong. May try again but want some more cheese. It came together very quickly and I surprised my husband with the dip tortilla chips and beer when he came home Friday after work. Fun!

I made this for a baby shower and everyone loved it! Using cream cheese instead of mayonnaise  adds a richer and creamier flavor!

I just made the spinach cheese dip for the first time for our daughter to take to her office. I am going to put it in the refrigerator when it cools off. She is taking it to work tomorrow. However she says she doesn't want to go to another floor to use their microwave oven to heat it up. Can it be eaten cold? I bought crackers to go with it. I will try heating it up early tomorrow morning on a lower oven temperature like 250 degrees for 10 minutes or so.

It needs a lot seasoning to help it along and it just wasn't super creamy inside. I would more than likely use this recipe to make spinach cakes or just as a straight up side dish over a dip. Also you have to really press out the extra liquid on the spinach and pay extra close attention to the milk and cream cheese otherwise you will make cottage cheese in a pot from adding cold cheese to warmish milk. Best to add these two at the same time or do the cream cheese first. As for the seasoning which I mentioned before the spinach flavor is very heavy and you will probably want to add more salt and pepper as you go along.
