Ingredients

Add to Shopping List

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened (for best flavor I suggest not to use generic brand Philadelphia Cream Cheese is best)
2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup finely minced red bell pepper

1 large green onion (white and green part) finely chopped
3/4 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry (one whole package will be too much spinach)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Louisiana hot sauce, to taste (you could omit the hot sauce if you like)

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix first 3 ingredients with hand or stand mixer on medium until softened and well mixed. Mix in bell pepper and onion. Mix in spinach.

Step 2

Transfer mixture to a greased baking dish (I use a 9-inch glass pie plate). Top with cheddar, then sprinkle a small amount of hot sauce on top of the cheddar. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until bubbling around the edges. Remove from oven and allow to set for 5 - 7 minutes before serving.
