This was amazing! It has a little too much kick to it for me so next time I'll reduce the amount of red pepper flakes but everyone else loved it. I doubled the receipe and it fit perfectly in a bread bowl!

WOW! Wow! WOW! This recipe is awesome. It tastes decadent and wonderful. I made one substitution... I don't like miriacle whip, so I substituted light mayo. I was also nervous about the red pepper flakes because I don't like spicy dishes. However, they gave the dip the perfect background flavor. And to top it all off, it is soooo easy to make. Just throw all the ingredients in a saucepan and warm them up. I will definitely make this again!

I made this for friends and no one liked it with the miracle whip. Next time I will try light mayo instead.

Really good! Even though it is lightened up, you will not notice. It was the first thing to go at our party.

I was nervious at first with making this particular recipe because I had to substitute a couple things. We didn't have yogurt so instead we used 1 cup sour cream. We also didn't have the frozen spinach, but we have baby spinach that I just chopped up. My husband and I both love this recipe and will have it at many family get togethers!
