[*Halloween recipe] Witch's Cauldron Spinach Dip

[Guest guest]

Here is another Halloween idea.

I love this dip any time of year.

 

Witch's Cauldron Spinach Dip

 

2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened

1 cup mayonnaise

1 package (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 can (8oz) water chestnuts, drained and chopped

1 green onion, chopped

2 tsp dill weed

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 tsp seasoned salt

1/8 tsp pepper

1 unsliced round loaf (1 pound) sourdough or rye bread

raw vegetables

 

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and mayonnaise.

Stir in the next eight ingredients.

Cut a 1 1/2 inch slice off top of loaf; set aside.

Carefully hollow out bottom, leaving a 1/2 inch shell.

Cube removed bread and set aside.

Fill the shell with spinach dip; replace top.

Wrap in heavy-duty foil; place on a baking sheet.

 

Bake at 375 for 1 and 1/2 hours or until the dip

is heated through. Open the foil carefully.

Serve warm with bread cubes and raw veggies.

Yield: 4 1/2 cups dip.

the rules of the game, the stakes and the quitting time.
