Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9X13-inch or similar sized baking dish.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the cream (or milk), flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Microwave the mixture in 1-minute intervals, whisking fully after each minute, until the mixture is thickened to the consistency of warm pudding, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the cream cheese and mix until well-combined (it's ok if there are a few lumps, but try to whisk it until as smooth as possible). Add the remaining ingredients; I like to add the spinach last, crumbling it in with my fingers to avoid large clumps. Mix well. Spread the dip into the prepared pan.

Step 4

Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbling and golden on top. Serve warm with bread or tortilla chips.
