Recipe Instructions:
-
Begin by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C).
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream until smooth and well combined.
-
Thoroughly drain the frozen spinach, ensuring that there is no excess liquid. You can use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to press out the moisture.
-
To the bowl with the cream cheese mixture, add the drained spinach, chopped green onion, parsley, lemon juice, seasoning salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried dill. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Prepare the bread loaf by cutting off the top and hollowing out the inside, leaving about 1 1/2 inches of bread around the edges to form a shell.
-
Carefully spoon the spinach mixture into the hollowed-out bread loaf, filling it evenly.
-
Place the top back onto the bread loaf and wrap the entire loaf tightly with aluminum foil.
-
Transfer the wrapped loaf to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours, or until the dip is hot and bubbly.
-
Once baked, remove the spinach dip from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill thoroughly.
-
Once chilled, serve the spinach dip with your favorite crackers or bread slices for dipping. Enjoy!
