Easy Spinach Rotel Dip

If you love a good dip, this one is for you. It’s ideal for holiday gatherings, family get-togethers, or any time you need a quick appetizer. The Rotel adds a nice zesty kick that complements the creamy cheese and spinach.

The recipe is straightforward: combine the ingredients, melt until smooth, and serve warm. It’s excellent with tortilla chips, crackers, pita chips, or crusty bread.

Ready in Minutes

MIX + HEAT. Combine all ingredients in a glass bowl and microwave on HIGH for about 5 minutes, or until everything is completely melted.

STIR + SERVE. Stir until smooth and well blended. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers.

Make in a Crock Pot

You can also prepare this dip in a crock pot. Add all ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally, until melted and hot throughout. If it becomes too thick, add a splash of milk and stir to reach the desired consistency.

Tips & Serving Ideas

Fresh vs. Frozen Spinach: Fresh spinach can replace frozen, but you’ll need about 16 ounces fresh for every 10 ounces frozen. Cook fresh spinach before using:

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet, add spinach and a pinch of salt, and sauté 4–5 minutes until wilted.
• Drain thoroughly by pressing in a mesh sieve or wrapping in paper towels and squeezing out excess moisture.

Favorite dippers:

• Tortilla chips
• Vegetable sticks
• Ritz crackers
• Brenton crackers
• Wheat Thins
• Pita chips
• Crusty bread
• Pretzels
• Fritos

Avoid watery dip: Removing as much liquid as possible from the spinach is essential. Wrap portions in paper towels and press firmly, repeating with fresh towels until mostly dry. A potato ricer also works well. If water rises to the surface after heating, simply skim or dab it off before serving.

Making Ahead & Storage

Make ahead: Assemble ingredients, cover, and refrigerate until ready to heat. Alternatively, heat the dip, cool, cover, and refrigerate—reheat before serving.

Prep bacon ahead: Cook and crumble bacon in advance and store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to add.

Store: Keep the dip covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat and stir before serving.

Freeze: Freeze in an airtight container for up to two months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently before serving.
