Spinach Dip ala Rockymento

The proverbial spinach dip usually combines spinach, mayo, sour cream and a dried soup mix. The directions say, 

1. In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, dry leek soup mix, water chestnuts and chopped spinach. Chill in the refrigerator 6 hours, or overnight.

Those ingredients are still there...just a few more items have been added.

1 oz pkg cream cheese(room temperature)

1 1/2 C sour cream

1/4  C Mayonnaise

Cream these together and then Add:

1 pkg of dry leek soup mix

1 Tbl dry ranch dressing mix

Thoroughly mix...and then synergize this recipe...(synergy: the interaction of two or more forces or elements that when combined produce a total effect that is greater than the sum of their individual effects)

2 boxes of chopped spinach(once were frozen, but now they are thawed and drained)

1 Lb bacon(baked in the oven, crumbled and degreased)

1 can of chopped water chestnuts

1/4 cup finely chopped onions 

1/4 cup finely chopped celery 

Thoroughly incorporate all these ingredients. Then place in a covered container and chill in the fridge at least 6 hours. Serve with crackers, tortilla chips, a fork...
