I have a serious weakness for the Spinach Queso at J. Alexander’s/Redlands Grill. It is basically the only reason I eat at J. Alexander’s. Well, the dip and those skinny fries! YASSS! I’ve been craving the spinach dip lately, so I decided to make my own version at home. Y’all, this dip is SO good! I might like it better than the original!
Start with heating up some frozen spinach and artichoke dip. Place some Velveeta cheese and some diced tomatoes and green chiles in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it until it starts to melt. Add the dip and heat until everything is melted and hot.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and baby spinach. Cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes, until spinach is wilted. Mix in salt and pepper. Remove from heat and transfer to a medium bowl. Melt cream cheese into almond milk over low heat. Add to spinach.
This hot spinach cheese dip is very cheesy. But, the spinach pieces were a bit large. I recommend chopping up the baby spinach leaves in a food processor before using. Even with the big pieces of spinach, the dip was a huge hit. So, if you love spinach and cheese as much as I do, you are going to really enjoy this yummy low carb spinach dip.
