Awesome Roasted Red Pepper Spinach 'N Artichoke Dip
Last Year I was looking for a good spinach dip recipe for when people come over for football games on Sundays (I'm the guy that gets the NFL Sunday Ticket). I tried a couple of recipes and they were "OK", nothing that stood out. I came across this tailgating recipe from Guy Fieri for spinach and artichoke dip it was "good", but I wanted more flavor so I started to modify it every week I would make it. Finally!!! got it down to where everyone loves this dip, and people call me to make it for games, parties, Thanksgiving, Christmas, cookouts, etc.... If you ever feel like Artichoke N' Spinach Dip. It's super simple and I learn a lot of great recipes from here so I'll share mine with Y'all!
2 Frozen packages of "Green Giant" creamed spinach
4 TBS Mayonnaise
3 TBS Pesto
3 TBS Shredded Parmesan
1 TBS crushed Red Pepper
1/2 Chopped Roasted Red Bell Pepper (I just buy it fresh and roast it on the grill)
1/4 Diced Yellow Onion
1/2 pack of Bacon (chopped, I just cut it w/ meat scissors its easiest)
1 can of Artichokes (quartered)
1/2 cup of shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese
Cook the bacon, when its about 3/4 crispy I toss in the onions until they are translucent, I let them sit for a bit.
Start mixing all the ingredients in a bowl (spinach, cheeses, roasted and crushed peppers, artichokes, mayo, pesto and finally onion and bacon when their at a comfortable temperature) Topped w\ Parm and Monterrey to melt on top and look nice.
Put it in a square Foil Pan ( I this like this cus you can make it the night before and have it ready to grill or, take it to the tailgate and grill it there!)
GRILL IT! at 350 for 20 minutes
serve it with some Stacy's pita chips or tortilla chips
Hope you guys like it!!! Thanks
