After college, my then-boyfriend, now-husband, started moonlighting at our friend Paul’s restaurant, Fireside BBQ & Grill. Fireside makes a DELICIOUS Spinach & Artichoke Dip served with salsa and homemade tortilla chips straight from the fryer. If you’re ever in Salt Point, NY be sure to try this stuff out, it’s amazing!
However, when it’s made on the stovetop it’s a pretty time consuming process that involves several steps. No one has time for that at home. So, just in time for football season, we created a crockpot-friendly version that you can set and forget. Go Steelers…I mean Giants…I mean Cowboys…um…’err….whoever your favorite team is.
Yields 6 cups
Ingredients
Directions
Label your freezer bag with the name of the recipe, cooking instructions, and use-by date (three months from when you prepped the dip). To your freezer bag, add all ingredients except cream cheese. Remove as much air as possible, seal, and freeze for up to three months. When ready to cook, thaw in refrigerator overnight or in morning in water and and then follow cooking instructions above.
Serve with your favorite tortilla chips! I also love it with carrot sticks…
