Cheap Easy Spinach Dip

Looking for something to make for the
upcoming football playoff games?

We are Bronco fans...
so we are ready for some playoffs
and (fingers crossed) a SUPER BOWL 


If you aren't fans of the Bronco's,
take a look at Mr. Eric Decker and he may 
change your mind.
(Yes, My husband knows about my celeb crush)


Anyway,
here is a super easy appetizer for game day!
(I made these for our Christmas party last month)



Ingredients:
8 oz block cream cheese
3/4 cup mayo
small box of frozen spinach
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
salt/pepper to taste

Steps:
Thaw the spinach and put it in a colander, 
using your hands press  down hard on top of 
the wet spinach,
...and drain out ALL the water

Mix all ingredients together.
 use an electric mixer if
you are having a hard time getting the 
texture smooth

You can serve this dip a few different ways.
In crescent cups
OR
just heat in an oven safe dish and 
serve with chips or bread etc.

I served mine in the crescent dough.
Just open the can of dough and cut into smaller pieces that
fit into the mini cupcake pans,
fill with a tiny bit of spinach dip
(the crescent  dough will expand a lot, so don't over fill them).
Bake at 350 until they are light golden brown.

SERVE WARM!
Go Broncos!!!

Cost Break down:

Crescent dough $1
Frozen Spinach $1
Cream Cheese $1
Parmesan cheese $.75
Garlic $.10
Mayo $.50
TOTAL: $4.35 for 50 spinach cups!
