Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, and truth be told, it might taste even better the next day. That’s how Southern flavors settle and sing. Make it a day ahead, refrigerate, then reheat gently in your crock pot. Add a splash of cream or milk if it has firmed up too much.

What’s the best way to keep it warm during a party?

Keep it in the crock pot on the warm setting and stir every now and then. A crock pot on warm will keep the dip pleasant and spoonable without overcooking it.

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?

You may, but you must wilt and drain the spinach thoroughly before adding. Fresh spinach releases a lot of water as it cooks. Squeeze it dry in a towel before mixing it into the dip to avoid a watery result.

Is there a non-dairy version?

Yes, but it will be different. Use dairy-free cream cheese and a plant-based sour cream. Use a dairy-free shredded cheese that melts well. Expect a shift in flavor and texture; it still can be very satisfying with the right substitutes.

How long will leftovers last in the fridge?

Stored well in an airtight container, up to 3 or 4 days. Reheat gently and stir in a small splash of milk to revive the texture.
