I did switch it up once. I added some spinach and some artichoke hearts. That was great too.”
Creamy Cheesy Spinach Dip
Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
“This hot spinach dip doesn’t contain mayo or sour cream like most, so it’s very cheesy and very delicious,” says Allrecipes member Miss Brianna Carline, who shared the recipe. “I get 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.”
Baked Cowboy Dip
Chef John
“Made this for a New Year’s party and it was a HUGE hit,” said one Allrecipes user. “It did seem like a lot of dip, but it was gone! I was told by the host this is my new signature recipe. We added some Liquid Smoke for interest. 5 stars as is! I love the flexibility of this recipe. Enjoy!”
