Spinach dip


Since we made bread today, it made sense to get the last frozen pack of spinach out of the freezer and whip up some crockpot spinach dip.

Today's version is a tad milder than usual. First in the crockpot on high for about two hours I placed the following:
  • one package frozen chopped spinach, thawed in the microwave
  • about one cup water reserved from the cooking of the spinach
  • 1.5 teaspoons fresh ground four color peppercorns
  • less than one clove sliced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1.5 teaspoons Inglehoffer sweet hot mustard
  • herbs and spices: parsley, basil, It's a dilly
About a half hour to an hour before serving, add cheese and reduce heat to low:
  • 1 block cream cheese
  • a few ounces monterey jack cheese
  • about 1/2 cup shredded mozzerella
I might add romano and cheddar if the flavor doesn't come out 'enough' for me, but I was trying to use up some open cheese from the fridge.
