The foundation of any good, creamy, dreamy spinach, onion,
0:06
and bacon dip would be cream cheese.
0:08
And I've got three packages of cream cheese
0:10
that were pretty soft,
0:12
but I was a little dubious, so I went ahead and whipped it
0:16
and creamed it up really nicely.
0:18
So I'm gonna start my delicious dip here
0:23
with some cream cheese, onions,
0:28
spinach, bacon, two different types of cheese,
0:36
And this is really simple. This is an old recipe, old.
0:42
This is one of my mom's recipes,
0:44
and it's one that we've had, gosh,
0:47
many times in my life I've eaten this.
0:49
And it's really good. It's a tried and true recipe,
0:52
and it's great at this time of the year, you know, I mean,
0:54
everybody's tailgating, college football has kicked off.
0:59
Go Dogs. It's just one...
1:03
It's just a good time of year
1:05
and especially a good time of year for something like this.
1:07
And it's so simple. We call it around here.
1:12
We call a recipe like this, just a stand and stir
1:16
where you literally just put everything into a bowl,
1:19
whip it up, stir it up, and...
1:23
(coughs) Excuse me. And voila.
1:26
So I'm gonna start with my soft ingredients.
1:29
So the cream cheese, the mayonnaise, the onions.
1:38
Mix that up a little bit.
1:39
And now we're gonna put this into a casserole dish
1:43
that I've already sprayed
1:48
and just pop it in the oven. And it's that simple.
1:50
One of those really simple, really good recipes.
1:54
So there's my mayonnaise, cream cheese, onions,
1:59
cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan.
2:08
Get those things married together.
2:11
Now, cream cheese, mayonnaise, onions, and cheese,
2:17
you already know you can't go wrong.
2:19
But when you add in some bacon, ooh.
2:22
But just to make sure that it's a healthy recipe,
2:24
just to make sure that we could say
2:26
that it is a healthy recipe, spinach.
2:31
That makes it all good, right?
2:32
That negates all the calories and fat.
2:38
It doesn't. But it's so good!
2:40
You indulge, you know,
2:41
when you're watching your favorite football team
2:45
or the World Series if you're a baseball fan, which I am.
2:49
Our Braves really punted this year.
2:56
Okay, and I'm gonna save that bacon for last,
2:58
but here goes the spinach.
3:05
And see, look at how pretty that makes.
3:06
It almost looks like drop some food coloring in there.
3:25
Now the bacon, just as,
3:30
and I sighed, we cooked the bacon,
3:32
but I didn't cook it super crispy
3:35
because once it crisps up really hard,
3:39
it's not rendering any of those good juices and fat anymore.
3:42
So we kind of, we did a little bit al dente,
3:46
so it's still got something to give
3:48
whenever we put it in the oven.
3:54
Look how good that looks.
4:08
And that looks really well combined.
4:11
So let's go into our greased bacon dish here.
4:39
It's very, man, dense.
4:45
- [Person] Yeah. Gonna need a few friends here.
4:48
Like the whole football team. (chuckles)
4:53
Yeah. So good though.
4:58
Yes. Dense is the word.
5:01
So I'm gonna make sure that it's filling up our pan nicely.
5:08
Man, this is gonna be so good.
5:10
- [Theresa] I probably could have given you
5:10
a little bit bigger, but that has a top on it.
5:12
- No, this is perfect.
5:13
- [Theresa] So the top goes really well for a tailgate.
5:17
If you had to transport it.
5:19
But no, this is perfect.
5:20
I mean, that is absolutely perfect.
5:24
That's the money dish.
5:26
- [Theresa] Ready for it to go into oven?
5:30
So I'll have my beautiful assistant, Theresa,
5:32
get inside the box and I'll cut her in half, right?
5:35
Right after she puts our spinach dip in the oven.
5:41
- Get back 'em. - Okay.
5:43
So we'll be right back.
5:45
Time to taste our creamy, dreamy bacon and onion-
5:55
Theresa's been calling it a artichoke dip,
5:57
since we got here this morning.
5:58
(Theresa speaking indistinctly)
6:00
Why don't you go home and make one for yourself
6:01
with artichokes in it.
6:04
For your tailgating... Golly, look how good that is.
6:07
I can tell just by looking at it.
6:08
And it smells like bacon too.
6:12
Okay, well here it goes.
6:27
That's creamy. And dreamy.
6:29
And delicious. And bacony.
6:31
Holy Moses, is that good!
6:36
I can eat that whole thing.
6:38
So glory, glory to old Georgia.
6:45
Happy tailgating to you. That is wonderful.
6:47
You're gonna love it. Go make it.
6:52
