Warm Spinach Dip in a Bread Bowl

Submitted by Spring Sneed in AR

"This recipe is Yum-Yum! I don't like spinach, but love this recipe. I found it in our local paper. I made it for New Year's Eve and it was ate before anything else! I used Green Giant creamed spinach, as I couldn't find the Stouffer's and I left out the green onions just as a personal preference. You can use any type of round bread. I used Hawaiian bread, again just a personal selection. You can use round rye or sourdough, etc. Try it and you will see just how delicious this is! (Recipe by Nestle USA.)"

I made this for my son's birthday party the night before. Once I finished mixing the ingredients, I could not stop dipping into it myself! The Stouffer frozen spinach souffle did not seem to exist in our grocery store so I used Bird's Eye Creamed Spinach instead; worked out great. Other people asked what was added because it tasted a bit different than other bread bowl dips. The creamed spinach and the green onions/scallions did just that. We will continue to use this recipe for years to come. Thanks!

Very good dip. My daughter who is VERY picky loved it. I too left out the green onions and used creamed spinach (10 oz instead of 9 oz). The next time I make it I will probably increase the parmesan to 1 cup and maybe add a tiny bit of garlic powder.

This is without a doubt the BEST spinach dip ever! Every time I make this it I get rave reviews. Every one wants the recipe. I made this for a Christmas eve dinner party and it was gone before all of the guests arrived, those that came early ate it all up!

Awesome recipe. Taste is just delicious, and is so easy to make. I also used Green Giant creamed spinach and no onions and it was perfect.

This recipe is delicious and super easy! I also used creamed spinach and omitted the green onions. I made this for a jewelry party I had and all the ladies loved it!!! If you are looking for a recipe your guest will ask you for before they leave, this is the one!
