Longhorn Steakhouse Spinach Dip Recipe

It has been a while since I made a Longhorn Steakhouse copycat recipe, mainly because I didn’t think anything else was worth making.

However, I went a few weeks ago and was surprised to see a newer recipe on the menu – a hot spinach dip. And my friends, it did not disappoint. The spinach dip was creamy and full of flavor, and those fried flat bread strips? I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E.

I’ve almost gone back a few times just to get an order of it, but I decided to make it myself at home. I sleuthed the Internet and trusted my taste buds, and I think I’ve come up with a

Ingredients

Dip

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 package ranch dressing mix powder
• 1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
• Frozen Spinach, defrosted, and excess water drained

Topping:

• 3/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
• 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon mayonnaise

Flat Bread

• Frying Oil
• Store-bought naan bread, cut into strips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and water together in a medium owl.

Add minced garlic, ranch dressing packet, Italian cheese blend, and frozen spinach. Mix well.

Spread into a baking dish.

Make the topping by mixing all the topping ingredients until well combined.

Cover the top of the dip with the panko.

Place in oven and bake for about 20 minutes.

While it bakes, put about 1/2″ frying oil in a sturdy pan/pot.

Fry the naan strips until crispy – place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Recipe Tips and Comments

• Prep all your ingredients before you start making the recipe.
• Defrost your spinach in the refrigerator the night before you want to make it
• We like Stonefire premade naan for the fried bread. It doesn’t need to be cooked before you fry it, and it tastes delicious!
• We originally thought there was cream cheese, but we realized the consistency was closer to sour cream and mayonnaise. You can certainly use cream cheese instead of mayonnaise – it will just be a bit thicker.
• This is inherently not a low-fat recipe, but you can use low-fat sour cream and mayonnaise to reduce some of the fat.
• We found that the Italian cheese mix was the easiest way to include multiple kinds of cheese in the recipe at an affordable price. You can usually find this blend at most grocery stores. Most blends have mozzarella, provolone, parmesan, fontina, romano and asiago.
