Add spinach and green chilies. Cook and stir until well mixed, about 1 minute. Add cream and cook until mixture begins to boil, about 1 minute.





REDUCE HEAT to low and gradually add cream cheese, stirring until cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add the Monterey Jack cheese, stirring until melted. Do not allow mixture to boil or cheese will separate. Serve at once with tortilla chips for dipping. Server 4 to 6

Ooooh! You're gonna love this stuff!


2- boxes frozen chopped spinach


2-10 3/4 oz cans cream of chicken soup


12 oz. shredded sharp cheddar cheese


salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste


Cook the spinach according to package directions and drain VERY well. (Squish it in the collander to get all the water out.)


Return to pan over very low heat and mix in the soup until warm. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste. Slowly add the cheese, stirring often until cheese is all melted and blended in.


EAT! Originally my family ate this over puff pastry shells, but I like to eat it just as it is!


ENJOY!
