    Wonderful flavor! We serve this with thin slices of toasted french bread.

    • 24 years ago

    Everyone loved this spread. It’s especially great on bagel chips!

    • 24 years ago

    This makes quite a bit, so it’s best if you’re serving to a bunch of people. It’s not that great with nacho chips; crackers or toasted pita pieces would be better.

    • 24 years ago

    I’ve fixed numerous spinach artichoke dips looking for a really good one. This is it! I used one pkg. regular cream cheese and one pkg. light cream cheese. Served with toasted crudites, it’s wonderful.

    • 24 years ago

    This dip was really tasty although I think it would be better with less cream cheese–it was a little too thick.
    Would also be good with a few jalapenos to give it more kick. My family loved it though!

    • 24 years ago

    This dip was the best. There were two artichoke dips at the party and even the lady who brought the other one said that mine was by far better than hers! Thanks for the recipe! 🙂

    • 24 years ago

    I put all the ingredients into the food processoranad just made sure I didn’t over do it and make it into a paste. Everone I served it too asked me for the recipe. It does make a lot though. I wonder if it freezes well.

    • 24 years ago

    This is very tasty. A good replica of dips served in restaraunts. My husband loves it, too. You can try to jazz it up wit hadditions such as red bell pepper, red onion or jalepenos if you wanted to. Thanks for the yummy recipe…better than others on this site:)

    • 24 years ago

    EXCELLENT DIP !!!! DELICIOUS, EVERYONE WANTED THE RECIPE WHEN I MADE IT. I’VE ALREADY GOT MY HUSBAND ASKING TO MAKE IT AGAIN!!! I MADE THE MIXTURE UP THE NIGHT BEFORE TO LET FLAVOURS BLEND AND BAKED THE NEXT DAY, WORKED WELL. THANKS FOR A GREAT RECIPE

    • 24 years ago

    This dip is great. My kids love it and don’t even wonder what the “green stuff” is . My husband even ate it cold and loved it!

    • 24 years ago

    I loved this recipe so much!! I took it to a church function and everyone raved!! We ate it on mini tortilla chips–yummy!!

    • 24 years ago

    A great dip, very easy to make. It was the first thing gone at my office party and everyone wanted the recipe!

    • 24 years ago

    I made this dish for a social gathering and it was a big hit. It was devoured by all and everyone truly enjoyed it. At least five guests said I couldn’t leave without giving them the recipe. I will definitely make this dish again. Thank you.

    • 24 years ago

    I made this for our New Year’s Eve party – and it was a huge hit! Everyone raved about
    it, even people who admittedly don’t typically like spinach or artichokes. Several people
    commented that it was the best they had ever eaten, even better than from restaurants.
    As the recipe makes a large amount, I would recommend it for larger crowds. Fortunately,
    it reheated well the next day and became a wonderful bowl game snack.

    • 24 years ago

    I made this dip for a party Christmas eve. It was such a hit, I made it again for a different crowd New Years eve. Once again, a hit!

    • 23 years ago

    I took this to a Christmas party and it was a big hit. Everyone loved it.

    • 23 years ago

    This dip is great for parties. My family, relatives and friends loved it. Even people who hate spinach, end up eating it!

    • 23 years ago

    My husband had “the guys” over to play cards and I whipped up this dip. I thought they were going to fight over the last bit! One guest swore that he hated spinach, but licked the bowl clean! This is our new favorite dip!

    • 23 years ago

    incredibly easy to prepare! loved the garlic zing in the flavor! i made it for an office party and got lots of compliments!

    • 23 years ago

    This is the BEST dip that I have ever tasted! Everybody raved about it and this is the only spinach artichoke dip I will ever make!!!!

    • 23 years ago

    I have been dying to find the perfet spinach/artichoke dip. I thought this one was really good. My husband thought it was good. It may have been just a tad cream cheesy, but I would definitely make it again. I must say, it sure DOES make a lot.

    • 23 years ago

    Enjoyed it and served to over 50 people at a party lasy night! Buck

    • 23 years ago

    It was wonderful. I actually wrung out the spinach (like a rag) and then pressed it between paper towels. I added shredded mozzarella on top when I removed the cover that way it would brown while cooking the last 10 minutes. Yummy! I froze half for my next party.

    • 23 years ago

    next time I’ll chop the artichokes more finely and throw in some fresh chopped spinach

    • 23 years ago

    This is by far the best artichoke dip! Everyone in the Euchre club loved it. I think next time I might try some scallions sprinkled on top.

    • 23 years ago

    This dip was great! I’m just learning cooking basics and it was easy enough for even me to make.

    • 23 years ago

    Excellent dip! I just reheated the leftovers in the microwave. I look forward to any occasion which I may be able to share this with others.

    • 23 years ago

    Friends loved this, nice and rich!

    • 23 years ago

    This recipe was quick, easy and fabulous! We ate it with tortilla chips but bread would also be good. I’m going to start keeping the ingredients on hand so I can whip it up whenever we have company.

    • 23 years ago

    This recipe was easy to make in the food processor. Before baking, I divided it into thirds, as it makes A LOT, and froze two containers. We just pulled one out and microwaved it. It was wonderful! Excellent to keep on hand for a quick appetizer.

    • 23 years ago

    This is a great warm dip to take to parties. I am asked over and over to bring it to functions.
    It goes fast

    • 23 years ago

    Wonderful and delicious recipe that I will continue to bring to or serve at my own parties. I substituted low fat mayo and low fat cream cheese and it tasted great – lots of people went back for seconds. It may be too “garlicy” for kids. Highly recommend.

    • 23 years ago

    I tried melting swiss cheese on top, which was pretty good until it started to cool off and the cheese got hard. Very good dip overall.

    • 23 years ago

    This was “to die for!” I added some shredded cheddar and monterey jack cheese to the mixture before baking it, and received rave reviews! Thank you.

    • 23 years ago

    This recipe won rave reviews at Easter dinner! It took me more like 20-30 minutes to get it made, and poked in the oven, but… EVERYONE WENT WILD OVER IT!!!!! I’m sure it will be fixed for years to come!

    • 23 years ago

    This recipe turned out fantastic. I made it for Easter and it was a big hit with people who didn’t like spinach or artichokes. Even someone who is very picky about her food loved it. I used sour cream instead of mayo and added 1 cup of monterey jack cheese. It had a great flavor. I think next time I will try pepper jack cheese. I served it with tortilla chips, salsa and sour cream.

    • 23 years ago

    Very delicious! I highly recommend trying this recipe!

    • 23 years ago

    All I can say is “YUMMY”. Served it at my son’s birthday party. I think it got more attention than he did.

    • 23 years ago

    This is an excellent recipe! I plan on using this as my choice ‘pot luck’ dinner item!

    • 23 years ago

    I was very disappointed with this dip. It took a very long time to heat up, even at 375 degrees which a very high temp. There was nothing fabu about it, I can’t see why there were so many rave reviews. I checked the recipe a few time thinking that I forgot an ingredient but did not.

    • 23 years ago

    Everyone at my party raved about it and wanted the recipe. It was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • 23 years ago

    Wow, my husband thought he had died and gone to heaven. Definitely a great recipe for pot luck parties.

    • 23 years ago

    This was an awesome recipe. Easy to make and very tasty. Everyone raved about how good it was and all asked for the recipe. Thanks Stephanie!

    • 23 years ago

    OH MY GOSH! This is by far the best spinach and artichoke recipe that I have ever had. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us Stephanie S.

    • 23 years ago

    This was great! I topped it off with shredded mozzarella and Provolone cheese on top. Delicious, definitely a keeper recipe!

    • 23 years ago

    Great and easy. I wasn’t as big of a fan as everyone else that was at the party and ate
    this dip. All the guests at as much of it as they could.

    • 23 years ago

    Absolutely wonderful dip!! I brought it to work and it got rave reviews. Thank you very much for sharing 🙂

    • 23 years ago

    I spread the leftover dip (if any) on pizza dough, and add mozerella! It makes the most incredible florentine pizza.

    • 23 years ago

    I made this for a party and served it with sliced baguette. Everyone loved it! I’m addicted, that’s for sure!

    • 23 years ago

    This is a great recipe. I even made it low fat. I used one block of lowfat cream cheese and 1 block of fat free cream cheese and fat free mayo. No one could tell.

    • 23 years ago

    Made this for party and it was a huge hit. The friends pretty much hung out by the dip until it was finished. 🙂

    • 23 years ago

    I’ve made this several times already and I am always asked for the recipe. It’s the best! It tastes great hot and also once it cools to room temperature. I recently brought another dish to a potluck and everyone was disappointed because they thought I would bring my famous artichoke dip.

    • 23 years ago

    so yummy!!! served this with crackers for my family just to try it out. i can’t wait for a gathering or party to take this too. it should be a big hit!

    • 23 years ago

    Wonderful! Brought to a party and it was gone in a flash. Received tons of request for the recipe.

    • 23 years ago

    Absolutely fantastic!

    • 23 years ago

    Wonderful!! This recipe is the best I have found. Took it to a house warming and as soon as the hostess set it down she tried it and insisted on the recipe immediately. I cut down a little on the garlic–took it on the 4 serving from 3 to 2 cloves because of the children. It was great!

    • 23 years ago

    I was really excited to try this recipe after reading all the rave reviews of it. I am pleased to report that it has lived up to it’s reputation. I pretty much followed the recipe, except for I halved it and I used a well-drained jar of marinated artichoke hearts instead of the canned ones indicated. I think the marinated chokes may have made the recipe even more delicious. I can’t wait until Thanksgiving. I know my family will devour this one! I served it with toasted french bread slices and celery.

    • 23 years ago

    Absolutely delicious!!! I took this to a friends house for a party and everyone raved about it. Even her husband, who didn’t like it when he tried it at a restuarant, thought it was great!!

    • 23 years ago

    I doubled this recipe and took it into work fora potluck. And although I was asked for the recipe by several I honestly didn’t think it was GREAT! It was good… but I did some serious doctoring as it seemed WAY too thick/heavy and actually rather bland to me. I added lots of seasoned salt, garlic powder, another clove or two of garlic, and an additional 1/4 cup mayo.

    • 23 years ago

    This recipe is so good. I made it at a birthday party and it was a huge hit. I love it. It is even fantastic reheated.

    • 23 years ago

    This a a wonderful recipe. I made it for a party and it was entirely gone within a few minutes.

    • 23 years ago

    This dip was good, however it was really really thick, so we had to use spoons to put it on the chip or carrot. It was kinda chunky, and didn’t turn out to be like a dip, at least as I know it.

    • 23 years ago

    YUMMY!!! This is the best spinach artichoke dip I’ve had. I’ve tried lots of recipes, and this one is the winner!

    • 23 years ago

    Very tasty, although next time I will halve the garlic which was a bit overpowering

    • 23 years ago

    This is Yummy! I have made it on Sunday for football several times this year and it goes quick. We have it with tortilla chips and my husband and teenagers think it is the best!!

    • 23 years ago

    This was wonderful!! I made it the night before and baked it just before I needed to serve it. Everyone loved it…4 people left my house with this recipe. Thank you!!

    • 23 years ago

    ONE WORD – DELICIOUS!!!!

    • 23 years ago

    This is a wonderful dip for spinach lovers!! I added 2 heaping tablespoons of sourcream to the mix the second time around and it was just as good as the original

    • 23 years ago

    This dip was really good. I used marinated arthichoke hearts and roasted garlic. Next time I will try to add more mayonnaise to make the dip have a softer consistancy and a bit of cayenne to give it a kick.

    • 23 years ago

    This is a fabulous recipe, and I will make it over and over. I made it for the first time as an appetizer for our Thanksgiving dinner, and served it with plain melba crackers (Old London brand). Even the children loved it. I found that I was one 8 oz. package of cream cheese short, so I increased the parmesan cheese by an additional half cup, and increased the mayo (I used Miracle Whip) by a half cup, and it was still PERFECT! Since we’re such a bunch of garlic freaks, I also doubled the amount of garlic called for. Mmmmmmm… awesome!

    • 23 years ago

    This was great! it’s one of my favorites to order when we go out to eat. I added a little as I always do I never copy a recipe completly. I used marinated artichokes that were spicy and also a 1/4 cup of lump crab. It was fantastic.

    • 23 years ago

    This was fantastic, better than the resteraunts! I had to try it out before the holidays and I am glad I did, I don’t think I want to share! I will bring this to all my holiday parties this year!

    • 23 years ago

    This recipe is excellent!!! I made this for a post-Thanksgiving get-together…everyone loved it. I would lighten it with lite cream cheese and lite mayo…. Not fat-free. Thanks Stephanie!

    • 23 years ago

    Fabulous!!

    • 23 years ago

    This receipe was gone within a half hour. I was begged for the receipe!! Delicious.

    • 23 years ago

    My three year old thinks this is a main dish. He loves it! Thanks.

    • 23 years ago

    The BEST!! So yummy! Very strong garlic. I do reccomend reducing garlic by 1/2 at least. (and I love garlic) But it was very very good!
    This tastes great serves hot or cold. I served them on sliced baguette, also very tasty on saltines. Heck, I think it would taste great on ANYTHING!

    • 23 years ago

    Excellent Excellent Excellent.

    • 23 years ago

    This recipe was pretty good, but I am not quite sure why everyone gives it 5 stars. Dont get me wrong, it is good, but is just a typical spinich and artichoke dip.

    • 23 years ago

    I read alot of the reviews and in response to the folks who thought this was dip was thick…try chopping the artichokes and spinach well; mix all the ingredients well (i use an electric mixer) and serve while very warm. Mine scoops up easily with a tortilla chip or cracker. Personally; I don’t like spinach OR artichokes; yet I love this dip! I’ve made it twice and everyone devours it and asks for the recipe. It is garlicky, but fortunately all my friends and family love garlic. I’ll definitely be making this dip often!

    • 23 years ago

    I made this for a dinner party and only heard great reviews.

    • 23 years ago

    EXCELLENT RECIPE !! I USED MARINATED ARTICHOKES AND ONLY USED 1/2 OF THE SPINACH WHICH ALLOWED THE FLAVOR OF THE ARTICHOKES THROUGH. MUCH BETTER HOT, BUT ADDED SOME ARTICHOKE JUICE WHICH I HAD SAVED TO THIN THE DIP DOWN SOME AND REHEATED. EXCELLENT ON BREAD, SO SO ON CRACKERS. THIN DOWN FURTHER WITH ARTICHOKE JUICE AND SERVE WITH VEGGIES.

    • 23 years ago

    This dip is AWESOME!!! I just made it for Christmas dinner and received a ton of compliments. Tastes best with Hawaiian Sweet bread and if you have a bread maker, there is a mix in this flavor!

    • 23 years ago

    This was fantastic. Better than any “restaurant artichoke dip” I have ordered anywhere. And you can eat as much as you want. Added 05/16/06: I am STILL making this on a regular basis for party’s and get togethers. It is always the best thing there and gone way too fast.

    • 23 years ago

    Good. It really is more of a spinach dip than an artichoke dip. The flavor of the artichokes is overpowered by the spinach. Still, it’s good.

    • 22 years ago

    Very tasty! Next time I will try to substitute some low fat ingredients to avoid some of the guilt that goes along with eating this! Taste better than some of the restaurant dip I’ve had. Definately a keeper!

    • 22 years ago

    Yummy! I made this for guests to snack on while I was finishing up dinner and everyone loved it! They went home with the recipe and the little bit that was left-over. Even my veggie-hating 2 year old loved it. I’ll make it again and again just to get some veggies in her! Great recipe!

    • 22 years ago

    OH MY GOD!!! This is the best artichoke dip I’ve ever had. Everyone loves it–even my spinach hating boyfriend. Thanks for a great recipe.

    • 22 years ago

    Very tasty, very easy! Thanks!

    • 22 years ago

    As written I found this to be just an average dish with little taste. It is too creamy for my taste as well. I would reduce the cream cheese and mayo by 1/2 at least. I added some cayenne pepper and hot sauce and still found it needed more so I dumped in 1/2 package ranch recipe secret mix and that helped a lot!

    • 22 years ago

    Everyone ranted and raved about this dip. I used a little buttermilk to make it a little creamier and served it w/ crackers and chips. A huge hit!

    • 22 years ago

    SO YUMMY! Enough said.

    • 22 years ago

    This is by far the best artichoke dip recipe i’ve tried….and i’ve tried many! It is now in high demand by my co-workers and friends. I used a combination of water packed and marinated artichokes to give it extra zip. FABULOUS!

    • 22 years ago

    THIS IS A HIT,IN MY HOME, AND AT OFFICE PARTIES. GREAT RECIPE!!!

    • 22 years ago

    This was ok – I wasn’t thrilled with it. But most of the folks at our party enjoyed it.

    • 22 years ago

    Served this at our Super Bowl party, and then brought the left-overs (because I scaled it WAY up)to work. Everyone RAVED about this dip! Delicious!
    p.

    • 22 years ago

    Great recipe! We liked it both cooked and uncooked(after setting a while to blend ingredients and flavors). It can become rather stiff and may benefit from a little olive oil or water when that happens.

    • 22 years ago

    My guests loved this dip! I will definitely use it again

    • 22 years ago

    The first time I made this recipe I used non-marinated artichoke hearts and the dip was bland and went uneaten. It took me a while, but I tried this again using marinated artichokes and it was fabulous. I am now required to make this for every gathering!

    • 22 years ago

    This was a great appetizer! I put it into a large bread bowl I made and broke the insides up to dip into it- yum! I used miracle whip instead of mayo, but it was still absolutely delicious!
