Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: 12-16 servings (3 cups dip).
Cuisine: Irish Appetizers, Irish Recipes
Ingredients: 1-1/2 cups sour cream; 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry; 3/4 cup chopped green onions; 1 can (8 ounces) water chestnuts, drained and chopped; 1/2 cup mayonnaise; 1 package vegetable soup mix; 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese; 1/4 cup butter, melted; 1 teaspoon dill weed; 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder; 2 tubes (7-1/2 ounces each) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

This is my daughter's favorite appetizer. Instead of serving spinach dip with ordinary bread cubes, you bake refrigerated biscuits into a delicious bread ring.—Sandra Conti, Agawam, Massachusetts

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups sour cream
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
3/4 cup chopped green onions
1 can (8 ounces) water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 package vegetable soup mix
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tubes (7-1/2 ounces each) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

Directions

For dip, in a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
In a small bowl, combine the cheese, butter, dill and garlic powder. Cut each biscuit in half; arrange half of the pieces in an ungreased 10-in. fluted tube pan. Sprinkle with half of the cheese mixture. Repeat layers.
Bake at 400° for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 1 minute before inverting onto a serving platter. Serve warm with spinach dip.

Hello llangford14 I use Knorr dry vegetable soup mix when I make this recipe. No cans, comes in a packet in the area of the dry Lipton soup mixes. Delicious! Enjoy!!

I LOVE this spinach dip. I have made it on numerous occasions. I haven't tried to make the cheese ring yet - I just cut up rye, pumpernickel and sourdough breads into cubes to dip.

Loved this recipe my daughter-in-law made at a baby shower. Made it at home and now will make it again and again.
