Ingredient Notes
- Garlic — I always recommend freshly-minced garlic for the best flavor. You can substitute jarred minced garlic if necessary.
- Cream cheese — Mayonnaise can be substituted for half of the cream cheese if you like.
- Milk — Feel free to use any unsweetened milk you prefer.
- Spinach — I use frozen chopped spinach. Allow it to thaw, then squeeze dry. You can also saute fresh baby spinach, then drain the excess moisture.
- Cheese — Feel free to play with the cheese. Shredded mozzarella cheese is a great option.
Tips & Tricks
- Make sure you soften the cream cheese at room temperature or in the microwave. This will make it much easier to blend into the dip.
- You can substitute the cheese with mozzarella, romano, or even Havarti.
- Top the spinach dip with sour cream to make this recipe even creamier.
- Lift up leftovers by topping with shredded cheese and heating in a baking dish until golden brown.
- The total cook time can vary by your slow cooker.
