spinach artichoke dip
a few of you asked for the spinach artichoke dip recipe from my last post, and as you demand, so i deliver. this dip is incredibly tasty, really easy to make and even works for people who proclaim to not like artichokes (like me). anything with spinach and artichokes instantly classes up a party, and your friends will think you spent a lot more time on it than you did. enjoy!
spinach artichoke dip
2 cups parmesan cheese
10oz box frozen spinach, thawed
14oz can artichoke hearts, drained
2/3 cup sour cream
1 cup cream cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp garlic, minced
1. Thaw the spinach in the microwave and mix with the drained artichoke hearts in a casserole dish. mix in the cheese.
2. Soften the cream cheese in the microwave and combine with the sour cream, mayo and garlic. stir the cream mixture into the spinach and artichokes until everything is coated.
3. bake at 375 F for 20-30 minutes.

After reading your wheat thins post last night, I was planning to ask you for this recipe. You are ahead of me! Thanks for sharing; it sounds quite simple to make and delicious to eat. Also, thanks for linking to my blog “The Garden Apartment.”

That is a lovely recipe! If you had the time it would be even more amazing with fresh artichokes but they are a massive pain in the ass to prep! Love your Bio also BTW about spening all you money on flour butter and sugar! Keep up the good work!

Just wondering if it is possible to prepare this ahead of time and refrigerate and then cook just before serving or does it all need to be done at the same time? Thanks!

I’ve been looking for a good recipe for this dip… yum!

@Amy - you certainly can prepare the dip ahead of time and refrigerate it until you want to serve it. You can heat it back up in the oven or even the microwave if you’re in a hurry.

Hi Pete. Thank you so much for this recipe. I have been looking for days for a recipe for spinach artichoke dip. I have come across hundreds of them but, did not like the ingredients. I made one that was so horrible and dry. My whole family hated it. I am trying to find one closes to the one from Applebees. This one looks like it. I am going to try it. I will get back to you and let you know what I think. I hope you don’t mind. Thanks again. Theresa from Shirley New York.

I use this recipe and I love it. I loved spinich dip..until I came across this one..now the other recipe doesnt even comepare! I usually stir a bunch of shreaded mozzeralla into the mixture and also sprinkle some on top before baking. It’s good with pieces of crusty bread, tortilla chips, or wheat thins. I make it in a casserole dish and serve it in that. I usually pop it back in the oven half way through a party. If I come to a party without this dip my friends get VERY upset
