Mother B's Spinach Dip

This recipe was given to me by a very sweet lady who happened to be the mother of an old boyfriend, many years ago. I make it for all my get togethers, and everyone loves it.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen spinach
• 3  cups mayonnaise
• 3  tablespoons  chopped onions
• 2  cups  grated cheddar cheese
• 1 (3 ounce) jar bacon bits
• 1  tablespoon lemon juice
• 1  dash garlic
• 1  dash salt
• 1  round  pumpernickel bread

Directions

1. Thaw spinach. Squeeze out as much water as you can.
2. Mix ingredients starting with the mayo and spinach.
3. It's best if you refrigerate the dip overnight and put in the bread bowl just before serving.
4. Carve out center of pumpernickel bread. Put dip inside. Make cubes out of the chunk of bread you took from the middle.
5. Arrange on a platter with cubed pumpernickel surrounding the bread bowl or you can purchase a small loaf of cocktail pumpernickel.
6. You can also use 1/2 lb of well drained, crumbled bacon instead of the bacon bits.
