Description

A creamy and cheesy spinach dip that’s perfect for serving with tortilla chips.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounces Velveeta Queso Blanco, (cubed)
  • 2 cups (226 g) pepper jack cheese, (shredded)
  • 1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese, (softened)
  • 1 box (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, (thawed, drained well)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, (minced)
  • 1 can (10 ounces) Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chiles), (drained)
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • ½ cup (119 g) heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup (115 g) sour cream
  • Tortilla chips, (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large (10-inch) oven-safe skillet, combine the Queso Blanco, pepper jack cheese, cream cheese, spinach, garlic, drained Rotel, and Cajun seasoning.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and gently stir together.
  4. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling around the edges. Stir gently halfway through to help everything melt evenly.
  5. Carefully remove from the oven and stir in the sour cream.
  6. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve warm, straight from the skillet, with tortilla chips for dipping.
