Ham & Cheese Hot Spinach Dip is the easiest & most delicious appetizer recipe for every party or gathering. Holidays, football, game day, it’s amazing!
When it comes to holidays, we tend to do things a little differently. We love to make some traditional recipes, but then we also really love to just munch on snacks.
So more often than not, our main dish isn’t just one dish. We typically have a whole lot of our favorite appetizers spread out throughout the kitchen & dining area for everyone to just snack on all day long while we have family time.
It keeps things low key & mellow, which is what I like. One recipe we made over the holiday weekend was this Ham & Cheese Hot Spinach Dip that was PHENOMENAL.
