Cheesy Bacon Spinach Dip
So I know this is kind of weird, but I’m an unusually huge sauce fan. I feel like all foods deserve a sauce, the cheesier, the better. I’m guessing you can guess my stance on dips, then? LOVE THEM. It’s just sauce, and I’m allowed to eat it on its own right. No need to put it on chicken to pretend it’s a chicken meal… I only wish you could eat dips for dinner…
In any case, I like to go crazy with the dips every holiday season and whip out some old favorites and experiment with some new ones. This Cheesy Bacon Spinach Dip recipe was one of the new ones I tried last year, and it was yummy and cozy, so I wanted to share.
This Cheesy Bacon Spinach Dip has two of my very favorite flavors, cheese and bacon, and I love adding spinach to things. It gives the illusion that it’s healthy, and it looks so pretty! The other thing I loved about this dip was that you can make it up to even a few days in advance. Just don’t bake it until just before you want to serve it. You can even transfer it over to a small slow cooker to keep it warm!
