Ingredients

• 8 cups Fresh spinach
• 6 slices Bacon
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash the spinach thoroughly and roughly chop it. Set aside.

Step 3

Cook the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the chopped spinach and cook over medium heat until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Drain any excess liquid and set the spinach aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Add the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the bowl and mix until well combined.

Step 7

Fold in the cooked spinach and crumbled bacon, reserving a small portion of bacon for garnish.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle a little extra mozzarella cheese on top for browning, if desired.

Step 10

Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with the reserved crumbled bacon.

Step 12

Serve warm with tortilla chips, crusty bread, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
