Ingredients

4 slices bacon diced
2 shallots diced (about 1/4 cup)
2 garlic cloves minced
4 oz cream cheese
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 cups fresh spinach chopped
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
1 cup Italian blend cheese shredded
1/2 cup chopped water chestnuts from a can

Instructions

In a small skillet over medium high heat add diced bacon
Saute until it starts to get brown and crispy
Add shallots and garlic and continue to saute (using the bacon drippings) until brown and crispy, about another 2-3 minutes
Remove from heat and add to slow cooker
Add remaining ingredients to slow cooker
Cover and heat on low for 1-2 hours stirring a couple times as it starts to melt
Keep on warm or low and serve with warm crusty bread or tortilla chips, as desired

Notes

I cooked this on low for 2 hours in my 1.5 quart slow cooker

To easily chop fresh spinach grab several leaves and roll them up tight like you would a tortilla then slice with a sharp knife
