This is a great receipe! I made it last weekend for a party and everyone asked me for the receipe. I have made quite a few different spinach dip receipes, but this was by far the best. I was worried about putting it in my small crock pot because of the half and half, but it was just fine. Next time I will add some garlic powder or minced garlic when the onions were sauteeing and try half monterey jack cheese and half sharp cheese. Overall, its a very very tasty dip, thanks for sharing!
