Select your microwave wattage in the dropdown. The cook times in this recipe will automatically change accordingly.

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (180g) frozen spinach, partially thawed
  • ¼ cup (60ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (80g) jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3-5 dashes hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste

Preparation

  1. Add all the ingredients into the Anyday dish and mix to combine. Cover with the lid (knob lifted). 
  2. Cook in the microwave for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. 
  3. Stir the ingredients until the dip looks creamy and well-mixed. If it’s too thick, thin it out with more cream, and if it’s too thin, add a bit more cornstarch. 
  4. Sprinkle more cheese on top and enjoy.

Serving suggestions & tips

  • If using fresh spinach, cook the spinach by itself in batches first for 30 seconds to a minute for each batch. Then, wring out most of the liquid before adding the other ingredients. 
  • To brown the top, put cooked spinach dip into a broiler-safe dish and place under the broiler for a few minutes. 
  • Try replacing the jack cheese with mozzarella, swiss, or smoked gouda for some new flavors. 
  • Mix in chopped water chestnuts for added crunch.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
