Cheesy Spinach and Bacon Dip (submitted by Sheila)
Cut 1 lb of Velveeta cheese into 1/2 inch cubes. Place in large microwaveable bowl. Add 1 pkg. (10 oz.) of
frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained; 4 oz. (1/2 of an 8 oz. pkg) of cream cheese, cut up (I often use the whipped cream
cheese and just estimate); 1 can (10 oz.) RO*TEL diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained; and 8 slices of bacon, crisply
cooked, drained and crumbled. I cheat on that and use the cooked, pre-packaged bacon.
Microwave on high
5 minutes or until Velveeta is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 3 minutes. The mixture
will thicken after sitting for a bit. But who can wait???
Serve hot with tortilla chips or assorted cut-up
fresh vegetables.
Makes 4 cups or 32 servings, 2 tbsp. each (yeah, right - who are they serving? Paris
Hilton)??!!!!
