Cheddars Sante Fe Spinach Dip

This Cheddar’s spinach dip, aka Santa Fe spinach dip, is as good as it gets! It has spinach, a three-cheese blend, and a slight kick of jalapeno peppers, all wrapped together with a creamy sauce. I love dipping tortilla chips in it, but honestly, there's so much more you can do with it!

How To Make Cheddars Spinach Dip

Step 1: Prep. Before we get into the recipe, preheat the oven to 350°F (180ºC).

What To Serve With Spinach Dip

There's nothing better than serving this Cheddar's spinach dip in the middle of a large tray with everyone's favorite dippers. Below, I've listed some of my most popular dippers that are always crowd favorites.

• Baguette garlic bread
• Homemade tortilla chips
• Cheddars honey butter croissants
• Fresh-cut vegetables like carrots, celery, and broccoli
• Bagel chips or pita chips

Storage Instructions For This Copycat Cheddars Spinach Dip

Store any leftover spinach dip in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. To keep the dip longer, you can store it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.

The best way I've found to reheat the leftover spinach dip is in the oven. Bake it at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes. Depending on how large your serving size is will determine the baking time, so make sure to keep an eye on it while baking. Once it's bubbling and heated through, it's ready to serve. Oh, and just thaw the frozen dip in the fridge overnight before reheating.
