alright, I got a bit of a problem here folks, I got a bag of potato chips, I hate potato chips, unless I have some spinach dip nearby, which i dont, I'm not talking about anything really complicated or fancy here just somehting like the cheap little things of spinach dip you would pick up at the local megamart.

I do however, got spinach, tons of the stuff, its a huge part of my diet, but it's fresh not frozen and thats what all these damn online recipies call for.

So I have a challange for you folks who see themselves as culinarily adept, I have fresh spinach, I have sour cream and I think thats what the two main ingrediants are, I need you to talk me through making a really simple spinach dip, ask me questions about what else I have or whatever, but i'm starting to crave the stuff.

First you have to wilt the spinach.

Do you have onion soup mix by chance?

First, chop up your spinach, and heat a pan with some olive oil or (better in my opinion) butter. Wilt the spinach in the pan. If you don't know how to do that, you melt the butter in the hot pan, throw in the spinach, and stir it until it's all dark green and - erm, wilted. The minute it's wilted, take it off the heat, or it will be icky.

Add the sour cream and (if you have some) cream cheese. If you had artichoke hearts, that would rock, but if not, don't worry about it. Add only a smidge of spices if you want them, or they will overpower your lovely spinach. The recipes you've found should be more specific.

Ok then you have to go with some other spices. I would suggest some chives or some dill. wilt the spinach as LadyS has explained I usually go half olive oil/half butter personally. I mix sourcream and parmesean cheese with a little mozarella or other cheese.... monterey jack would be lovely...or a pepper jack.

Depending on whether you want a cold dip or a hot dip. If cold just do sour cream and a bit of yogurt.

If hot sourcream, the cheese of choice, some spice and pop it into an oven safe bowl/casserole. bake at 275-325 (depending on the depth of said casserole dish for 20 minutes or until hot bubbly and begins to brown.

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pumpernickel-Spinach-Dip-I/Detail.aspx

just stick it in a bowl instead of a bread bowl.

edited to add:

I imagine that the "dill mix" they are referring to is probably just... dill... salt... and onion/garlic powder since that is the standard recipe for dill dip in general if you add the sour cream/cream cheese etc etc to it.

So if you have dill, salt, and onion or garlic powder I'd use that to taste.

My understanding is that there is a Cold version of spinach dip and a Hot version. This would be the cold.

ALSO on the Allrecipes site you can change the serving size simply by choosing a different number. Right now its at 3 cups and 24 servings. You could easily cut in half.

Cheese I got, nice ball of mozzarel and some parma, ummm..no dill...no chives and no yogurt.

Shit, now no Mozzarel either...those bastards from last night.

Then add in the garlic powder, a little fresh ground pepper or italian seasoning. Make it up as you go along, and see what tastes good. When you have it in front of you, just smell your spice rack and follow your nose. Everyone likes it differently, but ultimately you just want to mask you chips, right?

Rumtiger: no cream cheese? then ignore my recipe. Although its a great site.

I'd just go with what SDFemDom3cuck suggested.

Or maybe have a spinach salad :P

Mayo can work as a binder as well. Use the parm, if it's good stuff and not that canned crap from Kraft. I have a nice smoked buffalo mozzarella here. Damn now I'm hungry too. Artichoke hearts in the freezer, some smoked mozz, some mayo and a little roasted garlic. yummmm.

alright, I used the wilted spinach + sour cream as the base, with more spinach then cream since I prefer it that way, kinda plain so added in some parma even if it is the can stuff, and then some garlic powder, felt it needed some onion so sauteed some up and added those in too, some black pepepr and I think its decent...nothing really to write home about but I'm able to tolerate the chips.

bad bad italian. I'm sooo disappointed in you.

Aside from that it sounds pretty good. Although next time get the good stuff it's not that much more expensive but the flavor difference is miles apart.

oooh try some fresh parm on hot popcorn..out of this world.

I make my spinach dip with spinach, a 16 oz carton of sour cream, an 8 oz package of cream cheese, a big glop of Miracle Whip and the magic ingredient, a package of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing. I think it's the best !
