This is my sister's dip. She got the recipe while backpacking in Europe a few years ago. She is now forced to make it at every party she has. People smell it cooking and stand drooling by the oven until it comes out! (Many have not been able to wait for the cooling part and burned their mouths to get to it first). You might have to make 2 portions.

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temp
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, split into 2 1/2 cup portions (I prefer to grate it myself)
1 (8 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach

Directions

1
Defrost the spinach.
2
Place it in a colander and press it until as much moisture as possible is removed.
3
Mix all ingredients (1/2 of the cheddar), and blend well.
4
Put it in a shallow baking dish (stoneware works best) in the oven for 20 minutes at 350°F.
5
Remove from oven.
6
While still hot top it with remaining cheese, heat in oven again for 5 minutes.
7
Remove and cool below lava stage and serve.
8
Goes well with tortilla chips.

This is my go-to dip. It's absolutely delicious and never lasts long. I usually just make a double batch in anticipation of it being devoured! I even got my mom to start making it, which is a huge compliment from her! Love it with Italian 5-blend cheese as suggested. Will be trying pepper jack soon because that sounds amazing! Thank you.

I made this as written for a taligate party accept I served it cold and it everyone loved it. The spinach flavor doesn't stand out amongst the rest of the ingredients so it was easy to pass off as ranch and cheese dip for those "manly men" who would be opposed to eating any greenier at a tailgate. Thanks for posting!

Killer is right!!! I made this for tonight's New Year's celebration. Good thing I bought enough for two batches, because the first batch, the one I decided to make ahead so we could nibble on it if we wanted to...? The four of us that were here polished it off before anyone else got here!!! I served it with Tostito's Scoops. Probably not a good idea, because we were able to scoop even more of this yummy dip up than we would have otherwise! My oldest son (18 y.o.) said, "You need to make this more often!" Thanks for sharing a great recipe, Myth! Edited to add: I realized after I had posted my initial review that I had accidentally added a full pint of sour cream instead of the one cup called for in the recipe. It still turned out really well, and I will probably continue to make it this way. By the way, I'm really bummed because I was going to make another batch of this incredibly tasty dip to munch on today...then realized I have company coming tomorrow and it would make more sense (and be more polite, not to mention less piggish) to make it tomorrow. Harumph! Fine! (crossing arms) I'll wait til tomorrow. But that doesn't mean I have to like it!!!
