Spinach Dip is my all-time favorite appetizer at Applebees It’s a must-have every time I go. I have to say this copycat recipe is much better than the restaurant, much like Taco Bell Mexican Pizza, Texas Roadhouse Fried Pickles, Copycat Applebees Wonton Chicken Tacos, and copycat Panera’s Broccoli and Cheddar Soup.
This instant pot dip goes well with a Movie Night Snack Board.

way too cheesy for me; if i wanted to make a ton, i'd double the spinach. but this made a bucket, as it was. i only put in 5 oz of parm. it tasted good; i just like more spinach in my spinach dip. i'll make it again, to my own personal specifications. thanks for the jumping off place!
