Hot Spinach Dip

Yummy yummy yummy...

3 packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
2 tsp garlic powder
Cayenne pepper, a little or a lot!
1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped red pepper (optional)
2 to 4 green onions, finely chopped
1 package frozen spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese

• Beat cream cheese with a mixer (before adding sour cream to prevent lumps).
• Add sour cream, garlic powder and cayenne pepper and continue beating until smooth.
• Add Parmesan cheese, red pepper, green onions, spinach and 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese.
• Spread into a greased oven-proof dish and sprinkle 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese over top.
• Bake at 350 F (180°C) for 20 to 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly, turning a little brown around the edges.

Notes: 
You can use fresh spinach if you throw the bag in the freezer. Squeeze the frozen spinach before opening the bag and you've just created frozen chopped spinach!

You can freeze this before baking. Just remember if you use plastic wrap underneath aluminum foil, remove it before baking. True story...
