makes about 3 cups of dip
8 ounces (1 block) cream cheese, softened
8 ounces sour cream
4 slices bacon
1/2 medium sweet onion, chopped
1/4 red pepper, chopped
1/4 green pepper, chopped
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 bag spinach
1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese (or cheese of your choice)
Preheat oven to 375.
In a large skillet, fry bacon, then set aside to drain on a paper towel, leaving grease in skillet. On medium heat, add onions and peppers with a pinch of salt and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and saute 5 more minutes. Add garlic and spinach, stirring until spinach wilts. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix cream cheese and sour cream with a hand mixer (or even just a spoon – just make sure it is combined). Fold in spinach, pepper, and mushroom mixture. Fold in blue cheese or cheese of choice. Fold in bacon.
Pour dip in an oven-safe dish and bake for 20 minutes, until top is golden brown and dip is warm. Serve with pita chips, crackers, bread and veggies.
