Notes
Frozen Spinach: to use frozen spinach, squeeze excess liquid out and simply add after the cream cheese melts to retain a green color.
Note: Over heating the spinach or cooking too long can make the green spinach color dull.
To make ahead: make and cool dip. Broil over low heat with additional cheese before serving.
To freeze: Cool and store dip in a freezer bag for up-to 3 months. Reheat thawed dip in the oven, stovetop or microwave until hot.
