An Easy Grinch Spinach Dip with RoTel
My boys are huge fans of the Grinch, and I am, as well. We love sitting and watching the movies and having good snacks on hand to spend time together doing so.
You can use chips, crackers, or vegetables for this easy rotel dip – all work fine and are great options. You can even use this as a topping for sandwiches, which adds a nice kick of flavor.
Make a plan to have this on your radar for the holiday season. It’s loaded with flavor – and is one of the best tastes. Even the grumpy Grinch would give it two big furry thumbs up!
What to serve with Grinch dip
Round buttery crackers are what you see in the photos, and they hold up to a thick, cold dip without snapping. Tortilla chips work too, since the RoTel gives it a little salsa kick.
For something crunchy and green to match the theme, put out celery sticks, cucumber slices and sugar snap peas. A few red bell pepper strips make it look like a Christmas tray without any extra work.
Pretzel crisps and pita chips are good sturdy dippers if the dip has been sitting out and gotten a little softer.

Can I make Grinch dip ahead of time?
Yes. Mix it the night before, cover it and keep it in the fridge, then give it a stir before it goes on the table. The flavors actually settle in better overnight.
The one thing that ruins it is watery spinach. Squeeze the thawed spinach in a clean towel until almost nothing drips out, and drain the RoTel too, or the dip will weep in the bowl.
Want more heat? Use the Hot version of RoTel or add a few shakes of hot sauce. Want it milder for little Grinch fans? Use the Mild version.

Notes
Nutrition
Chips or crackers? Either way, this Grinch dip disappears fast.
I drained the Rotel and the spinach. Turned out great. (I did add more garlic powder and half can more of rotel.)
Instructions weren’t clear on draining the rotel. So I didn’t, and this came out very runny and couldn’t be used as a dip.
weird. you shouldn’t drain the RoTel which is why we didn’t state to. I’m thinking you didn’t get the defrosted spinach drained well, maybe?
