Spinach Dip

This baked spinach dip is hot, cheesy, and irresistibly creamy. It’s an easy crowd-pleaser that comes together with simple ingredients and bakes to bubbly perfection. Serve it straight from the oven with chips or bread for the ultimate appetizer.

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional topping: extra mozzarella or Parmesan

Directions

Step 1: Preheat

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish.

Step 2: Prep the Spinach

Squeeze thawed spinach very well to remove excess liquid. This step is key to a thick, creamy dip.

Step 3: Mix the Dip

In a medium bowl, stir together sour cream, mayonnaise, and cream cheese until smooth. Add spinach, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 4: Bake

Spread mixture into the prepared dish. Sprinkle extra cheese on top if desired.
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until hot and bubbly with lightly golden edges.

Step 5: Serve

Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm.
