This Tex-Mex dip is wonderful served over tortilla chips, but it is also good served on veggie dippers like red, orange, yellow or green bell peppers, sliced zucchini, sugar snap peas, or any vegetable of your choice. It’s extremely easy to make because you just put everything in a crockpot to heat up.

Espinaca Dip is a delightfulappetizer for tailgating parties and entertaining–especially if you’re having a houseful over to watch a sporting event or birthday celebrations and other special occasions. I brought it to a baby shower last night and it was a big hit. This is also a great appetizer for holiday entertaining. Place this lovely dip out for your guests and it will be gone in no time!

I got this recipe from my dear friend, Mylia Roan when she and her husband Jared served as directors for our Young Couples’ Sunday school class of many years. Mylia made this one time for one of our gatherings and it was a delight to everyone–especially me. I have served this several times since then and it always goes over really well.I have also seen the recipe posted at food.com, and several other places. Apparently it is inspired by Jose Pepper’s Espinaca Dip from his Overland, Kansas, Grill and Cantina. I’m not sure who the originator of the actual recipe is. But I’m grateful for Mylia sharing it with me.

While this recipe isn’t low in calories, it’s one of the best queso-type dips you’ll ever eat!

Here’s what I did.

Cube the Velveeta cheese and toss into a crockpot. I sprayed mine with cooking spray first.

Add cubed cream cheese.

Add heavy whipping cream andRotel diced tomatoes and green chilies to the crock pot.

Add diced onion,frozen chopped spinach,chicken bouillon or chicken bouillon cubes,milk andjalapeñopepper.

You can add up to a half cup of diced, seeded,jalapeñopeppers. If you like a lot of heat, go ahead and dice up that much. I was making this recipe for a ladies’ baby shower so I diced up about 1/8 cup instead. I change around the amount ofjalapeñobased on the occasion for bringing the recipe.

Stir to combine. Heat in the crockpot until all the cheese is melted. Be careful not to cook this too long or at too high of a temperature. One-to two hours on high and then reduce to warm is probably all you’ll need.Continue stirring periodically until the Espinaca Dip is completely smooth.
