Ingredient list:
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Med Onion
- 2 Tbsp Flour
- Garlic Powder
- 1.5 cup of milk
- Dry ranch dressing mix
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 6 oz cooked chopped spinach
- Pitas for serving
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Over medium heat, melt 2 Tbsp of butter (if using unsalted, add some salt), 1 Tbsp of olive oil, and 1 medium onion diced. Once the onions start to soften, sprinkle in 2 Tbsp flour. STIR, STIR, STIR. You should now have paste like consistency.
Slowly add in 1.5 cups of milk. You want to do this slowly so it doesn't get cakey. Then, stir in half a packet of ranch flavored dressing mix. Sprinkle in some garlic powder. Cook for about 10 minutes. Stirring occasionally.Then add in half a block of cream cheese (4oz), 6oz of cooked chopped spinach, and 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese. Once the cheeses have melted, place in oven safe serving dishes. I used ramekins, which allowed for portion control! YAY! Sprinkle some additional cheddar cheese on top, and baked for about 30 minutes. I served this dip with toasted pitas, but you could serve with veggies if you are trying to be more healthy, or baked chips.
