Baked Creamy Spinach Dip
2 packages (12 ounces each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 Tablespoon butter
2 garlic cloves, minced or 2 teaspoons already minced
1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
2 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Bagel chips, crackers and/or Tostitos chips
Preheat oven to 350°
Squeeze dry the spinach, reserving one cup spinach liquid.
In a large saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and flour to make a roux. Cook about one minute. Whisk in evaporated milk and spinach liquid. Whisk in the cream cheese, ricotta cheese, spinach, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until blended and slightly thickened.
Transfer to a 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbly, and the top is lightly browned.
Top with the remaining Parmesan cheese and bake an additional 4 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve with bagel chips, crackers, and/or Tostitos chips.

💗💚 Oh yum! Thank you! 💚💗
Oh my Lanta, I cannot wait to try this. I’ve only had it twice and loved it both times and the first time I had it they broken up pieces of baguette, and that was so good
This is a must for Xmas 👍 thank you! 🇦🇺
I'm certainly glad you don't waste anything. Why someone would complain is beyond me. I'm loving this recipe. I had some at the restaurant the other day and I have been looking for a good recipe. Thank you so much for sharing.
When I make creamed spinach I boil it then place into the food processor then I put oil into the pot and cook onoins then add the flour, it;s an old dish served with salt water boiled potatoes and spiced salsbury steaks done with beef ground meat and pork… I don't put nutmeg I put some Maggie..
I didn't notice Tom but did you or does it matter , packaged or self grated cheese?
you need a squeegee for the kitchen only lol … This looks great!
Waist not want not
Rapist
You say that the appetizer at the restaurant was priced at$18, I am curious at to how much these ingredients came up to. With todays prices it was probably pretty close to that, but you probably got a lot more. It looks yummy!
Great 👍👍👍 recipe
Melissa how did you not shake the camera (Nooooo), when the whisk splattered stuff all over the stove top. That would have been so perfect 😂
Looks Scrumptious. Happy Thanksgiving to you both, and your Family ❤🙏❤
I love how you get every drop out! I do the same! What bothers me is when cooks leave behind some of the ingredients.
Thanks for that recipe, never made it before, but I am now! Thank you Tom & Melissa, Melaney from SoCal.
will be trying this one. Happy Thanksgiving
tom and Melissa.
I scrape every last bit even if it's a grain of rice😊
I love love love spin dip. Always get it at Cheddars restaurant. I can hardly wait to make this. I too can’t believe that someone would complain because you’re not wasteful. Keep on being you, Tom. Love you and Melissa and what you stand for. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving with your family.
Put a clean towel in a bowl n empty your spinach into the towel, then pick the towel up n twist tightly over bowl. All your juice will come out n no mess on you lol you made the whole spinach thing way to complicated. Do like I said n u will be set to move on lol
Oh my gosh that looks so good, it's one of our favorites, but expensive in restaurants. We will be making and serving this spinach dip to those who gather in our kitchen, to munch on, while the turkey bakes next week. I enjoy your posts so much, you and Melissa are precious together. Thank you, Wishing y'all a blessed Thanksgiving.
I absolutely LOVE that you don’t waste anything!!!! The opposite seems to be the custom in a lot of cooking programs, and it’s just such a waste to me. Like you, I always clean the containers, and my spatula is my best friend 😁👍🏽👍🏽
I believe one of the things that has made your channel so successful is that it goes well beyond cooking. It demonstrates your loving relationship with each other. Just look at the way you take turns sharing that first bite! Tom worries that it might be too hot, or that he might have chosen the wrong kind of cracker. And Melissa, you reassure him that the one he chose was "just what I would have picked." Little loving acts of kindness like that are the difference between mediocre relationships and happy ones. The ability to both give and receive love — that's a true gift! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
❤❤❤❤❤
I appreciate you getting all the ingredients out of a bowl.
Waste not want not.
😊
This Baked Creamy Spinach Dip recipe looks so delicious 😋 Mr. Tom.
You should try using the leftovers mixed with pasta and thinned out with some of the pasta cooking liquid. Yummy
I love spinch
I appreciate you scraping everything and not wasting food, I can’t stand some cooking videos that I watch, they never empty the whole can of soup or scrape it out or dump cake mix in a pan and they never scrap the bowl to get the rest. Drives me absolutely crazy. Thank you Tom for scraping the bowls, getting as much food off your beaters and not wasting food!! Dip looks delious!!! Saving this to make for New Years 😊
My mouth is watering…❤
I run to the Spinach .
Tasty & full of great nutrients
Yummy!
Great in a smoothie
I will try this recipe
Thanks for sharing
Waste not…want not….probably was a young pup…lol…you cook any way that you want Tom…and when they come back and say it didn't come out right…tell them…well it is because you didn't scrape the bowl clean as a whistle….lol
Really enjoyed the video thanks for sharing I will try that
Thanks for sharing the recipe. GO BIG BLUE!
That looks amazing! I'm definitely going to make this! I can't believe someone complained about not wasting anything. I do exactly the same thing. I use my "wipey", aka rubber spatchula to get EVERYTHING every time! It's the smart thing to do. Thanks again for your channel, I love you guys. Jayman…
No way I'd pay $18.00 for this. Tom confused me when he said ricotta cheese. But thanks as usual for this. Jayman…😊
Ahh. I just got my cookbook also. So thankful for all the hard work in putting it all together. I so enjoy your channel. My husband will tease me and say get it all. We have always done that. We are thrifty retired teachers also in California.

I bought your cookbook! I Hope this is in it.
Waste Not Want Not!
Can you substitute cottage cheese for your ricotta?
I will be going to my ladies Bible study Christmas party in a few weeks and I think this is what I’m going to take. Thank you, Tom and Melissa and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. God bless you both.
Can you substitute cottage cheese for your ricotta?
Yum! One of our favorites… yours is a little different with the ricotta cheese… we also make it with spinach and artichokes… yum! You keep scraping three bowls clean…. waste not, want not…I was always taught! Happy Thanksgiving from our home to yours!
I use a spatula to scrape EVERYTHING. Waste not want not. This looks and sounds amazing! I WILL HAVE TO TRY IT!!
Can I use fresh spinach and just chop it instead of frozen?
You and Melissa tickle me by the way y'all say it's so good. If a person doesn't like their own cooking then no one else will. Keep up the good work and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! ❤
Please make another cookbook!!
I’ve made baked spinach dip before but not with ricotta. I can’t wait to try your recipe! I know it will be extra delicious! Thank you from San Diego!☮️♥️
