Spinach, Bacon, and Onion Dip

Really good, simple, and would be good to take to parties, etc. The only thing I would do is add more bacon, for two reasons: 1. it cooks down a lot, and 2. I LOVE bacon!!!!!

4 slices bacon, thinly sliced crosswise

1 medium yellow onion, diced medium

coarse salt and ground pepper

1 tsp. all-purpose flour

2 packages (10 oz each) frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

1 C. whole milk

1/2 C. sour cream

1 bar (8 oz) cream cheese

1/2 C. grated Parmesan

crostini or pita chips, for serving

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan, cook bacon over medium, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels. Discard all but I Tbsp of fat from pan. Add onion to pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 8 minutes. Add flour and cook 30 seconds. Add spinach, milk, sour cream and cream cheese. Cook, stirring, until cream cheese melts, 2 minutes. Stir in bacon and 1/4 C. parmesan.

2. Transfer mixture to a 1 1/2 quart baking dish and top with 1/4 C. parmesan. Bake until bubbling, 14 minutes. Heat broiler and broil until top browns, 3 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes. Serve warm with crostini or pita chips.

*** You could probably use lower fat versions of all the dairy products to make this a bit lighter.
