Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil, plus more for baking dish
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 pounds spinach, cleaned, trimmed, and coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 6 ounces reduced-fat bar cream cheese
  • 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • Baguette slices, breadsticks, or crackers, for serving

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat oil over medium. Add onion and garlic; cook until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes.

Add spinach in two additions, letting the first batch wilt before adding the next; cook until completely wilted, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a colander; drain, pressing to release all excess liquid.

In the same pot, warm milk over high heat. Whisk in cream cheese until melted, about 3 minutes. Add spinach, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and 1/4 cup mozzarella; stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a lightly oiled 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella.

Bake until bubbly and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot with accompaniments, as desired.

      Cook's Notes

The recipe can be assembled through step two up to three days ahead, then covered and refrigerated; it can also be served as a side dish. Two 10-ounce packages of frozen spinach can be substituted for the fresh. Thaw according to box instructions, drain well, and chop.

                This is not a vegetarian dip. Worcester sauce is made with fish oil. This is something I would expect the cook to know. Removing it isn't easy since it seems to be the only flavouring.

                I made this yesterday for a Superbowl party. I agree that it was good but pretty bland. I added extra salt and pepper, garlic powder (I already had the two cloves in the recipe), paprika, and Parmesan cheese. I think that the Parmesan was the ingredient that made it a lot better.

                This dip has been very delicious every time I have made it. I recommend adding a dash or two of paprika to the mix. The recipe also worked well with the substitutions I made this time. I used 2 tbs garlic powder in place of the garlic cloves, 1/2 cup almond milk in place of cow's milk, and about 6 oz of ricotta cheese in place of cream cheese.

                This was ok but really didn't have much taste at all. We've had other spinach or artichoke dips before that have been super tasty but this was a bit of a bore. I didn't even use the fat free cream cheese so that wasn't the issue.. I used the normal kind since that's what we had here..  Again, it was OK but I won't make it again.

                I brought this dish to a dinner with friends and was so disappointed at how bland it was. I ended up putting it back on the stove and adding a few spoonfuls of mayo,a little sour cream, garlic salt and a bunch a shredded parm. I am usually a fan of any recipe I try from this site, but this one left a lot to be desired! Next time I will add artichoke hearts and use Guryere instead of Mozzerella.

                Very yummy vegetarian dish!  I added zucchini and baby portobellas (before the spinach) and I used sweet onion, cayenne, and a little ground mustard.  We started by dipping raw veggies and bread and by the end we were fighting over the rest with our forks!  I would probably use less worcestershire sauce in the future, and next time will try it with some grilled chicken or seafood.  Mmmmm...

                I've made this once already for New Year's and despite the fact that I spent the night pouring over other dishes, this one was my favorite. I substituted Gruyere and just served it with a loaf of sourdough. I would say that 3 cups easily serves 6-8 people in a dinner setting, but probably a few more if you used smaller pieces of bread or bread sticks and served at a potluck.

                This was an excellent dip - very tasty but not heavy or fatty.  I used frozen spinach, lite cream cheese, and shredded baby Swiss cheese instead of mozzarella for more flavor.  We served it with those super-thin pretzel crackers.

                This is simply delicious. 2 lbs of spinach is definitely not too much since it wilts down to a fraction of the original volume. One wonders why midnight aisle would even bother to make this recipe considering that its name "Hot SPINACH Dip" gives a pretty clear indication that spinach will in fact be the primary ingredient.  Duh!!

Will definately make it, only I will use the Fresh stuff.  read all the comments, thanks for your input.  I'm sorry for you midnight_aisle, perhaps you just dont like spinach, and should stay away from.  we have grown to love it. but it does take time.

                you can purchase fresh pre-washed spinach and it works like a charm! My problem is converting imperial to metric (that we have here in Canada - ugh for us older ones who were taught with imperial measurements and still find them in most cook books!)

                The neatest way I know to thaw and drain frozen spinach is to put unwrapped frozen block on a double thickness of cheesecloth, and set in a colander. Once thawed, you fold the cheesecloth over the spinach and wring like crazy. 
                
                You can speed the whole process up by running cold water over the spinach block, over a fine mesh colander, then scooping everything into a cheesecloth.

                I've never used this exact recipe, but.....It says use 2 10 oz packages frozen spinach, drain well:  but the trick is not just to drain the frozen spinach, but to squeeze ALL of the water out of it.  you can even squeeze it in paper towels.  otherwise you'll get really runny dip.  works just as well as fresh as long as you get all of the water out

                If you don't object to frozen spinach, it's much quicker to prepare. Let your frozen spinach begin to thaw out a little bit, enough for your knife to be able to cut it easily, then either chop it up or throw it in the food processor and pulse it (not too much!). This works best while there are still plenty of ice crystals present in the spinach. Once you have chopped it how you want it, let it thaw the rest of the way and proceed with the rest of the recipe.

                Looking for a tasty nibble to serve to your family and friends on a holiday pre-supper time? This hot spinach dip is delicious, yet a little time consuming. Chopping the spinach certainly takes a bit of time but it's well worth it. My family was nearly licking this dip out of the bowl by the time it was gobbled up. Serve with breadsticks or some nice crusty bread. Make this! I'm telling you, it's really yummy.

                It's too rich, but if you add Sour Cream and more Cheese it's nice. In fact I've made this so many times now it's my signature dish at parties.

                I brought this dish to a dinner with friends and was so disappointed at how bland it was. I ended up putting it back on the stove and adding a few spoonfuls of mayo,a little sour cream, garlic salt and a bunch a shredded parm. I am usually a fan of any recipe I try from this site, but this one left a lot to be desired! Next time I will add artichoke hearts and use Guryere instead of Mozzerella.

                I made this a while ago, but I have to comment...I'm no Martha in the kitchen, but this turned out absolutely amazing! My family loved it so much that I only got to try a  mouthful of it by the time I brought out the second course.

                Very yummy vegetarian dish!  I added zucchini and baby portobellas (before the spinach) and I used sweet onion, cayenne, and a little ground mustard.  We started by dipping raw veggies and bread and by the end we were fighting over the rest with our forks!  I would probably use less worcestershire sauce in the future, and next time will try it with some grilled chicken or seafood.  Mmmmm...

                I've made this once already for New Year's and despite the fact that I spent the night pouring over other dishes, this one was my favorite. I substituted Gruyere and just served it with a loaf of sourdough. I would say that 3 cups easily serves 6-8 people in a dinner setting, but probably a few more if you used smaller pieces of bread or bread sticks and served at a potluck.

                This was an excellent dip - very tasty but not heavy or fatty.  I used frozen spinach, lite cream cheese, and shredded baby Swiss cheese instead of mozzarella for more flavor.  We served it with those super-thin pretzel crackers.

                I made this, substituted Aloutte spread for cream cheese, no hot sauce, and served over whole wheat pasta and my picky toddlers loved it!  They ate more than we did!!!  I feel so good that they got a healthy meal.  It was a great recipe for kids.

                This is simply delicious. 2 lbs of spinach is definitely not too much since it wilts down to a fraction of the original volume. One wonders why midnight aisle would even bother to make this recipe considering that its name "Hot SPINACH Dip" gives a pretty clear indication that spinach will in fact be the primary ingredient.  Duh!!

                Can't stand frozen spinach, but love it fresh in salad, and now this recipe intrigues me.  Will definately make it, only I will use the Fresh stuff.  read all the comments, thanks for your input.  I'm sorry for you midnight_aisle, perhaps you just dont like spinach, and should stay away from.  we have grown to love it. but it does take time.

                you can purchase fresh pre-washed spinach and it works like a charm! My problem is converting imperial to metric (that we have here in Canada - ugh for us older ones who were taught with imperial measurements and still find them in most cook books!)

                The neatest way I know to thaw and drain frozen spinach is to put unwrapped frozen block on a double thickness of cheesecloth, and set in a colander. Once thawed, you fold the cheesecloth over the spinach and wring like crazy. 
                
                You can speed the whole process up by running cold water over the spinach block, over a fine mesh colander, then scooping everything into a cheesecloth.  


                    
                I've never used this exact recipe, but.....It says use 2 10 oz packages frozen spinach, drain well:  but the trick is not just to drain the frozen spinach, but to squeeze ALL of the water out of it.  you can even squeeze it in paper towels.  otherwise you'll get really runny dip.  works just as well as fresh as long as you get all of the water out  


                    
                please ,someone tell me if i use frozen spinach how much do i use?
                would love to try recipe but fresh is to expensive and too time consuming to clean.  


                    
                This is one of my favorites for comfort food.  Great for dipping veggies into....kids don't even realize how many veggies they've eaten by the time they're ful.  Plus, it's so quick and easy to make.

                If you don't object to frozen spinach, it's much quicker to prepare. Let your frozen spinach begin to thaw out a little bit, enough for your knife to be able to cut it easily, then either chop it up or throw it in the food processor and pulse it (not too much!). This works best while there are still plenty of ice crystals present in the spinach. Once you have chopped it how you want it, let it thaw the rest of the way and proceed with the rest of the recipe.

                Looking for a tasty nibble to serve to your family and friends on a holiday pre-supper time? This hot spinach dip is delicious, yet a little time consuming. Chopping the spinach certainly takes a bit of time but it's well worth it. My family was nearly licking this dip out of the bowl by the time it was gobbled up. Serve with breadsticks or some nice crusty bread. Make this! I'm telling you, it's really yummy.
