Popeye would go crazy for this Spinach Dip in a bread bowl


Most of us grew up watching Popeye the sailor man go crazy for his can of spinach. Here is another way to get your Popeye serving of spinach without having to eat it plain. I served this dip at my 31st birthday last month and everyone loved it and wanted the recipe so here it is. We served this dip with different fondues  so it is defiantly a great little recipe to whip up to bring a smile to everyones faces at a get together. 



Popeye's Spinach Dip In a Bead Bowl recipe
Serves 24

1 cup mayonnaise
1 (16 oz.) container sour cream
1 (1.8 oz) package dry leek soup mix
1 (4 oz) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1/2 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 (1 lb.) loaf round sourdough bread (pumpernickel, or any  large round artisan bread) 

In a medium bowl mix mayonnaise, sour cream, dry leek soup mix, chopped water chestnuts and chopped and drained spinach. Chill in the refrigerator 6 hours or overnight. (I only refrigerated it for half an hour and it was still great)

Remove the top and interior of a sourdough bread bowl. Fill bread bowl with spinach dip. Chop up the remaining sourdough you hollowed out into bite size pieces for dipping and place around the bread bowl. Dip and enjoy!
