Spinach Dip in Bread Bowl

Ingredients

2

boxes (10 oz) frozen spinach leaves, chopped (do not use fresh, frozen only!)

1

cup regular mayonnaise (do not substitute!)

1

envelope onion soup mix (powder) (from 2 oz box)

1

container (16 oz) sour cream

2

cans (8 oz each) water chestnuts (chopped or diced)

3

Green onions (finely chopped)

1

loaf Hawaiian or sourdough bread

Steps

• 1

  Soak both packages of frozen spinach in warm water to defrost.
• 2

  Drain spinach well. Ring out spinach like a wet towel to squeeze out excess juice, with hands.
• 3

  Place spinach in a large bowl and mix in sour cream, onion soup packet, mayo, green onion and water chestnuts. You may add as much mayo and/or sour cream to satisfy your taste. Mix well.
• 4

  Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 2-4 hrs)
• 5

  Hollow out a large, round loaf of Hawaiian Bread (or Sourdough), leaving at least a 2 inch wall. Place bread bowl on tray and pour in the dip. (Place extra bread pieces around spinach bowl for easy to get, bite sized pieces to dip with.)
• 6

  Use another loaf of bread to tear more pieces with and place around bowl. (Try out different kinds of breads. My favorites are the sweet Hawaiian rolls and sourdough.)

  Serve & enjoy!
