How to Make Santa Fe Hot Dip Oamc

  1. Thaw frozen spinach completely. Drain thoroughly, squeezing out as much excess liquid as possible.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, parmesan cheese, and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in the thawed spinach, Monterey Jack cheese, drained green chiles, cumin, and Tabasco sauce. Mix until well combined.
  4. **To serve immediately:** Spoon the dip into a 1-quart baking dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  5. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or crackers.
  6. **To freeze:** Line a 1-quart baking dish with foil, allowing the foil to extend over the edges. Cover the foil with a piece of plastic wrap, ensuring it fits the dish.
  7. Spoon the dip mixture into the lined pan. Wrap the plastic wrap tightly over the dip, then fold the foil over the plastic wrap to create a sealed package.
  8. Freeze until solid (at least 4 hours).
  9. Once frozen, carefully remove the foil-wrapped dip from the baking dish. Place the frozen dip in a labeled freezer bag and freeze until needed.
  10. **To serve from frozen:** Remove from freezer and let thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Unwrap foil and plastic wrap and discard.
  11. Place the thawed dip into its original baking dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  12. Serve with tortilla chips or crackers. Enjoy!
