Step-by-Step Preparation
Prepping the Ingredients
Start by washing and chopping your spinach, dicing onions, and mincing garlic. Make sure your cream cheese is soft for easy mixing.
Cooking the Italian Sausage
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Sautéing the Spinach
In the same skillet, sauté onions and garlic until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, releasing all its moisture.
Combining Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, sautéed spinach mixture, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, and seasonings. Mix until creamy and evenly blended.
Baking Instructions
Choosing the Right Baking Dish
An 8×8-inch baking dish works perfectly. Lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
Oven Temperature and Timing
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the dip mixture evenly in the dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
How to Know When It’s Done
The edges should be lightly browned, and the center should be hot and bubbly. Give it a gentle stir and taste to make sure flavors are melded.
