Alfredo dip is an awesome appetizer to serve. It is rich and decadent, but the spinach adds an earthy and fresh flavor to the mix!

This spinach alfredo dip was a happy accident. I was originally going for more of a traditional spinach dip, and ended up with something much different, but pleasantly surprising!

I’m gearing up for the Thanksgiving countdown, and have been busy menu planning and searching out new and exciting things to plan and make. We will have all the normal fixings of turkey, stuffing, dressing, mashed potatoes, corn, and glazed carrots, but I’ve got some plans for a homemade green bean casserole, a new cranberry sauce, some fresh buttermilk rolls, and a whole array of desserts.

I am going to be cooking straight through from Tuesday on through Thanksgiving dinner, but I’m going to have a blast doing it! Thanksgiving dinner is my favorite meal of the year, so I might get a little overly excited about the planning and preparation of it!

Try this simple, made-from-scratch dip for your next get-together. Bake at 325 for about 30 minutes or until it is melted, bubbly, and smelling delicious. Easily adapt to your slow cooker by heating on high for an hour or so or until the mixture is melted and bubbly.
