Ingredients

• 1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temp
• 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, split into 2 1/2 cup portions (I prefer to grate it myself)
• 1 (8 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach

Directions:

1. Defrost the spinach.
2. Place it in a colander and press it until as much moisture as possible is removed.
3. Mix all ingredients (1/2 of the cheddar), and blend well.
4. Put it in a shallow baking dish (stoneware works best) in the oven for 20 minutes at 350°F.
5. Remove from oven.
6. While still hot top it with remaining cheese, heat in oven again for 5 minutes.
7. Remove and cool below lava stage and serve with chips.
