Cheesy Spinach Dip
Wednesday, June 6th, 2012
We have been looking for more ways to incorporate vegetables into our meals lately. Neither one of us eat a lot of vegetables, but we would like to eat more before the baby comes so we’ve been slowly making meals with more color in them. I found this recipe on Pinterest and noticed it was pretty much the same recipe I used for my queso dip, but with frozen spinach thrown in. What’s even better is you can’t taste the spinach! The original recipe calls for bacon which any other time I would do in a split second, but apparently this baby doesn’t appreciate bacon and I have to leave it out. BOOOO!!!! I made this in a dutch oven on the stove but it can just as easy be cooked in a slow cooker or in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl.
Cheesy Spinach Dip
1 package Velveeta cheese (I use 2% Velveeta), cut into small cubes
1 can ro-tel tomatoes
1 package (10 oz) frozen spinach, thawed
1/4 cup milk
Put all ingredients into the bowl of the method of cooking that you choose (microwave, dutch oven or slow cooker). Cook until cheese is melted stirring occasionally until incorporated. If you are using a microwave I would recommend cooking in 2 minute increments until fully melted stirring after every 2 minutes. This keeps nicely as long as you keep it warm so I keep in on the stove top on a very low heat, stirring occasionally.
