Kelsey's 4 Cheese Spinach Dip
5 stars based on 27 reviews
Ready in: Under 30 minutes ?
Difficulty: 3/5
Serves/Makes: 4
INGREDIENTS:
8 ounces cream cheese
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder (not garlic salt)
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon freshly grated Romano cheese
1 tablespoon very finely chopped red bell pepper
1 green onion (scallion) white and green finely chopped
1/2 package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 cup grated medium Cheddar cheese
1 pinch cayenne pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix first 4 ingredients with hand or stand mixer on medium until softened and well mixed.
Add next two ingredients and mix on med-low until just incorporated.
Add spinach and mix on low until just incorporated.
Transfer mixture to a small ovenproof dish and sprinkling cayenne on top to taste. Top with cheddar. Bake for 15 - 18 minutes or until bubbling around the edges.
Remove from oven and allow to set for 5 - 7 minutes before serving. Serve with fried or baked pita wedges and tortilla chips (nachos).
COOK'S NOTES:
At Kelsey's this is served with deep fried pita wedges. I found that oven baked (400 degrees F for 5 minutes) were just as popular and substantially less fatty. For either you MUST use Greek style pitas as they are far softer and more substantial than regular pitas. Greek style pita have little or no pocket in them.

This is absolutely one of my most favorite things! I always crave it! I found the most delicious way to make it.. I always do a double batch, but I don't use a whole package of spinach I just take a little chunk out of it because I find it makes it too overpowering, and then I make sure that I HEAP up the Red peppers on the tbsp's. and I add a glob of sour cream to it because it keeps it from stiffening up too much as it starts to cool. MMMM Now I'm hungry for some! :P

I made this recipe for a party once and now people always want me to bring it! I am keeping the recipe a secret though! haha. Great recipe thanks for posting.

The secret ingredient you are missing is the melindas hot sauce that Kelseys puts in theirs. It gives the dip a unique spicy flavour. Looks like a great recipe too though. Great work

I made this for company one evening, it was thoroughly enjoyed. It was very easy to make and it truly did turn out just like Kelsey's dip. I served this with toasted pita chips and tortilla chips. mmmmm

I made this just this past weekend and nearly fainted with happiness! It turned out just like the restaurants! I was to happy!

My boyfriend loves this dip and orders it everytime we go to Kelseys. We can hardly tell the difference between the two. I double the recipe and put the extra batch into an oven/freezer safe dish and freeze it for another time. Just unthaw and bake when ready to use. Turns out great.

I have made this SO many times and it is so great! It tastes just like Kelsey's and I have requests for it all the time. And so easy to make too!
Guest: Callie 2007-02-15
This recipe was great! The only thing that I changed was adding 1/3 cup of Alfredo sauce. ( I asked in Kelsey's once and they told me there was Alfredo in theirs) There are never any leftovers when I serve this.Thanks for the recipe!!

This recipe is actually better than the original. I add a slice of finely chopped red onion as well. Every time I bring it to a party, I get multiple requests for the recipe. I serve it with Scoops or sliced baguette.

HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL! This is amazing! It just came out of the oven 20 minutes ago, and it's already gone! My sister and I devoured it! I didn't have any garlic powder or Romano cheese, so I left them out. However, I mixed in some mozzarella cheese with the cheddar. Then I ripped up some pita bread and coated them with a little olive oil, garlic and salt and baked them until they turned crunchy. I think I'm going to make some more tomorrow! Even my dad loves it, and he isn't easily impressed! I LOVE THIS SOOOOO MUCH! And I am lactose-intolerant so I will be using a lot of Lactaid pills to eat this! haha THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS AWESOME RE... read more
