This is a great dip! It’s prepared on the stove top instead of in the oven. Even veggie haters love this, and I’m always asked for the recipe whenever I make it. Omit the Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, partially thawed
- 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 2 (16 ounce) containers sour cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- garlic salt to taste
Directions
Step 1
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the spinach and artichoke hearts. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Mix cream cheese and sour cream into the spinach mixture. Stir in Parmesan cheese and garlic salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

This was truly wonderful! I did make a few changes, however. I used a 16 oz. bag of frozen spinach, only one container of sour cream, and 2 Tablespoons of minced garlic in place of the garlic salt. It tasted just like the dip a caterer made for a party I went to. Make sure you buy ‘chopped’ spinach – mine was frozen leaves and I had to put it in a blender for a few seconds to chop it up.

This is the most fantastic way to make a great tasting spinach artichoke dip! Quick, easy and you can’t go wrong if you add a little extra parmesan cheese!!! I made it for a meeting and everyone demanded to have the recipie! Great job Cindi! Try it in a hollowed out sourdough bread-round, it’s the best.

I modified it somewhat and it turned out great! I’ll definitely make this a lot as spinach is the only veggie my 2 y.o. will eat.
I made it without the sour cream, with ~3 oz extra spinach and ~ half the shredded cheese. It was still a bit too rich. Next time I will cut 1/3 of the cream cheese also.

This is a great recipe. I absolutely hate mayonnaise so I’m excited that this doesn’t have it. However, when I made it the first time there was too much of the cream and not enough “filling”.
First, I replaced the garlic salt with fresh sauteed minced/chopped garlic (which I cooked with the spinach) and salt (which I added after the dip was done).
Second, I cut the amount of cream cheese and sour cream in half (1 package of each) and replaced half of the Parmesan with Romano (totally your call, we just like the mix) and it turned out BEAUTIFUL! AND… if you want to put it in the oven you can!
This is a great starter recipe. Everyone who has tried this has loved it. -

I’ve made this dip 5-6 times, my suggestions…crush 4 cloves of garlic and cook in the butter as it’s melting, also, I use two cans of artichoke hearts, and I cut the cream cheese and sour cream in half, and finally, for a little more flavor, I add some ground pepper, a dash of cayenne pepper to taste, and a tablespoon of worcestershire….great tasting and easy…can even put a big batch in a crock pot on low….stays warm and delicous for hours.

Although I could feel myself getting fatter with every bite, this was soooooooo yummy. I served it at a party and everyone loved it. A couple girls even asked for the recipe. A couple of notes: it does get cold and set up rather quickly, so try to serve it in small quantities, reserving the rest on the stove to keep warm. Also, the recipe makes a LARGE batch; if you’re not entertaining, I suggest cutting it in half for munching at home.

Huge success! I made this for a Thanksgiving appetizer I went ahead and used the full amount of sour cream and cream cheese, but I added more spinich and artichokes because I knew my guests would want leftovers! I also used fresh spinich (more work but worht it!) and sauteed the spinich and artichokes with fresh minced garlic along with the butter….I served it with an assortment of crackers and hard breads from Trader Joe’s….fabulous!

Wow! What a great recipe! I also only used one container of sour cream and cream cheese. I also made the recipe earlier in the day, cooled it off, then placed the saucepan in the refrigerator. When our guests arrived, I just put the saucepan back onto the stove and warmed it up again. Rave reviews from everyone!

Wow – my husband and I both really liked this recipe! I followed some of the other reviewers’ advice and used twice as much of the artichokes and spinach. I’m glad I did, otherwise there would have been too much creamy stuff. Note that this makes a TON of dip – even half the recipe lasted us for three nights plus I gave some to our neighbors. We dipped both tortilla chips and cut up Italian bread in it. Delicious!

This is the first recipe I’ve ever rated, but I just had to becuase it’s so yummy! I’m a novice cook and learning lots of new recipes on this site (fun! I love being able to read the reviews before I try a recipe!) and this is one of the tastiest things I’ve made. Thanks! 🙂

This dip was amazing! It was so easy and quick to make, and the response from my fiancee (who is a huge spinach lover) almost made me blush! I did as the other reviewers suggested and used less of the cream cheese and sour cream and more of the spinach and artichokes, and it came out to be better than the dips that we’ve tried at restaurants. Thanks for the great recipe!

This was a wonderful recipe. It has been a hit at several parties, I modified it using some advice from other reviews…
*saute fresh chopped garlic into butter (5-6 cloves)
* use double the spinach and artichoke hearts
* cut the creamcheese to 1.5 packages
* cut the sourcream to only 1 container
* use a mix of parmesean, asiago and romanoI also made pita chips to go along with it…just brush olive oil mixed with pepper and garilic salt onto cut up pita pieces (triangles) and bake at 350 until crisp.
Tastes better than what you get at resturaunts.

This is a great recipe and it’s fairly easy to make. I’ve taken it to a few family pot lucks now and everyone has liked it. It really needs a lot of garlic salt to get the right flavor otherwise it tastes a little bland. I usually serve this dip with slices of french bread, it seems to bring out the flavor better than when it’s served with crackers.

This is a great recipe! I did cut the cream cheese and sour cream in half and added minced garlic to the butter before adding the spinach and artichoke hearts. I also cooked it in a mini crockpot to keep it warm for the party we held. Definately something I’ll make again. Thanks!

I’ve now made this recipe twice. Once for a dinner party appetizer for a few close friends and a second time for a BBQ we were hosting. It makes A LOT, so either halve the recipe for a smaller group, or have lots of leftover. WHich is not necessarily a bad thing, because my husband and I have enjoyed reheating the leftovers and eating them!! Anyway, I endorse adding the Parmesan cheese and to give it a little more pizzazz, I added about a half packet of dry ranch dressing mix the second time. I got many rave reviews from the 25 friends and neighbors we had over for the BBQ we just had!

I personally did not like this dip. It was too creamy for my taste. I usually prefer more spinach anbd artichokes, and less creams.
I made this dip for a party and someone else brought a spinach dip. Everyone, inlcuding me, ate hers and didn’t touch mine.
But, I have to give it at least three stars because my husband, who enjoys cremy sauces, liked it. So, it all depends on your tastes I suppose.

Can’t rate this honestly as I did make some changes. I sauteed 5 large cloves of garlic (minced) in the butter. I also doubled the spinach and artichokes. It was very good. I imagine it would have been very sour cream-ey without doing that. I think you at least need to double those 2 ingredients. If you don’t, at least cut the sour cream and cream cheese ingredients in half so it’s got the right balance.

I would recommend some sassier cheeses… fontinella, gouda, romano, etc. The recipe calls for too much background and not enough feature. I agree with others; too heavy on the cream cheese and sour cream. My guests ate it, though. It wasn’t a bad recipe… a great place to start.

My friend found this recipe on Allrecipes and made it for us twice! It is so easy and so yummy and so perfect for a crowd of people! One of my grad school professors has us take turns bringing in snacks for the class; I made this dip and cut up some celery, carrots and broccoli and everything was GONE by the end of the class. My boyfriend insisted that I leave some home for him. This recipe makes ALOT!

I agree, this is a GREAT dip. But, after reading other reviews I made the following changes: 1/8 cup of butter, sauteeded fresh garlic (3 cloves, minced)in the butter before adding spinich and artichokes; only used 1 (low fat) cream cheese and 1 (low fat) sour cream. Otherwise I think you need two packages of spinich. HUGE HIT at my football gathering. Served with Doritos “GOLD” chips. It gets very thick after cooling but I just reheat with a little splash of milk and it works great. My boyfriend eats it cold, right out of the ‘frig. I liked making in on the stovetop instead of baking in the oven. This is now one of my regulars.

Very tasty – I will be making this again. I was hoping it would taste like the artichoke dip at my fave restaurant and it absolutely did! Only as others warned, you need only HALF the sour cream and HALF the cream cheese called for. It is rich just like that and I think a good ratio of greens to cheese.
