Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Thaw the frozen spinach according to package instructions. Once thawed, place the spinach in a clean kitchen towel or a piece of cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, ranch dressing, onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt, regular salt, and black pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add the drained, thawed spinach to the bowl and mix thoroughly until the spinach is evenly distributed throughout the creamy mixture.
- Wash the red peppers thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Cut each red pepper in half lengthwise. Remove and discard the seeds and membranes, creating small pepper boats that can be filled with the spinach mixture.
- Using a small spoon, fill each pepper half with the prepared creamy spinach dip. Be generous with the filling, slightly mounding it over the pepper if needed.
- Arrange the stuffed mini peppers on a serving platter.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips:
- Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out as much water as possible to avoid a watery dip.
- For an extra kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
- Ensure that the sour cream is at room temperature before mixing for smoother consistency.
- Use fresh spinach for a different texture and flavor, but be sure to sauté it first to remove excess moisture.
