A hand holds a tortilla chip, dipping it into creamy campfire spinach dip nestled in a foil packet. The packet sits on the grill, and the dip looks hot and freshly prepared.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 8 oz package cream cheese room temperature
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese divided
  • 1 10 oz package frozen chopped spinach thawed and drained
  • 1 packet Knorr vegetable soup mix optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, stir together all of the creamy ingredients (sour cream, cream cheese, parmesan, and half the mozzarella).
  • Add in the spinach and Knorr soup mix. Stir well with a wooden spoon until combined. If you’re making this at home before your trip, store it in an airtight container in your cooler.
  • Lay out two large sheets of aluminum foil. Spoon the cheese mixture into the center, top with reserved mozzarella, and fold it up, crimping the edges tightly.
  • Place the packet near the hot coals (not directly in the flames) and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, until everything is warm and bubbly. You can also place it on a campfire grill, barbecue grill, or cook it in a cast-iron skillet if you prefer.
  • Carefully open the foil (watch out for steam!) and transfer the dip to a bread bowl or serve it straight from the foil with tortilla chips, pita chips, or a sliced baguette.

Notes

  • Use heavy-duty foil. Regular foil might tear, so double up if needed to prevent leaks.
  • Make it spicier by adding fresh jalapeño or red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
  • Keep it warm – if you’re not ready to eat right away, keep the dip close to the fire on low heat to stay melty.
  • Try a cast-iron skillet if you have one handy. This is another great way to cook the dip over an open fire, like with this skillet dip.
  • Pair it with campfire queso for the ultimate camping snack spread.
