This easy hot spinach dip has taken our family and church potluck crew by storm. My aunt discovered it on the back of a Duke’s mayonnaise jar and has made it for us three times in the last month for potlucks, birthdays, tailgates, etc.
People can’t get enough of this delicious recipe and it’s too good not to share. You don’t even have to be on a keto diet to appreciate it which makes this hot spinach dip great to bring to parties. We’ve nicknamed it “Death By Spinach Dip” because it’s that mind-blowing.

How to Make Spinach Dip
This warm dip tastes delicious hot or at room temperature which makes it great to leave out for “grazing” on game day. It’s one of my favorite easy appetizers to bring to a gathering on short notice.
For the recipe below, use a small baking dish or iron skillet. If you’re feeding a crowd and want to double the recipe, an 8-inch dish will work well.
