    This is a wonderful recipe! I have received scores of rave reviews when serving this at parties. It’s quick, easy, and very, very good.

    • 24 years ago

    I grated my own cheese which took the most time overall to prepare this dish. Everyone really enjoyed the dish.

    • 24 years ago

    Soooo tasty. My friend’s boyfriend cannot stop asking me to make it for him. A big hit!

    • 24 years ago

    MMMMMM…..Delicious! It was gone in a flash! Easy to make and great with both french bread or tortilla chips!

    • 24 years ago

    Really easy and delicious! You can also make it a day ahead of time and pop it in the microwave to serve.

    • 24 years ago

    be careful, the artichokes can make it salty if you dont watch what theyre marinated in.

    • 24 years ago

    So good! Someone commented on the marinated artichokes being too salty — don’t use those, use canned artichokes. I also used Pepper Jack cheese for added zip This is a great recipe!

    • 23 years ago

    Delicious. I added jalapenos to one batch and enjoyed it very much.

    • 23 years ago

    Very, Very good..A big hit on New Year’s Eve..Thanks!

    • 23 years ago

    I made this for Superbowl Sunday and everyone enjoyed it. So simple to make, I used a handheld electric food grinder to mix the artichokes instead of a blender so clean-up was a snap. A few of my guests told me that this dip tasted as good as or better than the restaurant Friday’s. Thanks for a great recipe!

    • 23 years ago

    This recipe is great! I don’t recommend doubling the garlic as I did – I love garlic – you’ll probably regret it in the morning.

    • 23 years ago

    I have been making this for about a year, everyone loves it.. Its a big hit ..

    • 23 years ago

    Fabulous, it was gone in seconds!

    • 23 years ago

    It’s a major hit – I made it once, and now it’s requested by my friends. I’ve tried a few similar recipes and this is the best one I’ve found. As another “reviewer” noted, don’t use marinated artichokes in the jar … use canned. Also, I liked it better when I began adding 2 cups (1 bag) shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

    • 23 years ago

    I used artichoke bottoms because sometimes the hearts have a “woody” texture. It turned out great! I served it with a baguette that had been sliced, brushed with a touch of olive oil then put under the broiler to “crust up”. Great for parties. I will definitely make this again.

    • 23 years ago

    this was great!! It was gone in no time

    • 23 years ago

    An outstanding dip. I’ve made it three times, and guests loved it every time.

    • 23 years ago

    Yum! It was the best appetizer of my party-no leftovers. I got many requests for the recipe. It tasted great with corn chips.

    • 23 years ago

    I misplaced my printed version of this recipe and had to contact one of the people I passed it on to to get it back! I’ve used both the marinated and unmarinated artichoke hearts and everyone loved it both ways! I served it at Christmas and one woman who normally doesn’t eat much, plopped in front of the dish and cleaned out our tortilla chip bowl. To top that off, I e-mailed the recipe to another friend, and when we went there for New Year’s, guess what she served…!!! It’s been pretty much a party staple ever since. Thanks!!!

    • 23 years ago

    We served it at a dinner party and it was gone in the first 5 minutes!!

    • 23 years ago

    I made 4 of the top 10 recepies for a party and this dip was the favorite. I didnt even got to try it. It vanished in no time!

    • 23 years ago

    This is a great tasting recipe! It’s as good as the dip served by the Houston’s restaurant chain. My family loved it!

    • 23 years ago

    It was quick, easy & delicious! My boyfriend said it was better than Applebee’s! 😮

    • 23 years ago

    Made this recently for a dinner party. Everyone loved it. It was very easy too, which is an added bonus. Will definitely be making this again soon.

    • 23 years ago

    I was hoping this would taste like the dip I recently had at a restaurant. I figured with all the cheese in the recipe that it would be creamy but the spinach seemed to over power the taste rest of the ingredients and it wasn’t very creamy.

    • 23 years ago

    Next time I’ll only use half the artichokes….I don’t like them all that much. My husband has been asking when I’m going to make this again. He ate half the pan for his dinner! He loved it.

    • 23 years ago

    I have yet to make it, but if its anywhere close to what is sounds like, I’ll love it.

    • 23 years ago

    I chose this recipe instead of another one, and I wished I tried the other one instead! I made this for a party, and it turned out to be somewhat dry and chunky. I really like Houston’s restaurant spinach dip and was hoping for something more like that. There’s another recipe on here that uses Alfredo sauce, that may do the trick…

    • 23 years ago

    This was good but I thought it would be more like the restaurant dip I had. Maybe it was a bit too sour and not creamy enough. Anyway, not bad.

    • 23 years ago

    I absolutely LOVE this dip. It’s quick and easy and every one I make it for LOVES it. I’ve given out this recipe more than any other. It’s a real fave of our family and friends, I make it for pretty much every dinner party we have. Yummy!

    • 23 years ago

    When I got the recipe I told my friends I would give them a tin full to try also. After trying it, I didn’t want to share but my friends are glad I did. Best part of all though is that it’s relatively low in calories and fat so I don’t feel so guilty when eating it

    • 23 years ago

    This dip is delicious. My freinds beg me to make this when we get together.

    • 23 years ago

    Everybody loves it!

    • 23 years ago

    Served for Thanksgiving appetizer and it was a big hit. Very rich and tasty. Will definitely make again.

    • 23 years ago

    Needed something quick for the office Christmas party and decided to try this since it had so many good ratings. Definitely a good choice. Everyone wanted the recipe. So easy to make and just delicious.

    • 23 years ago

    This is a scrumptious warm dip. I serve it with pumpernickel bread chunks. Also really good without the spinach.

    • 22 years ago

    Everyone at our new year’s party thought we got this from Applebee’s. lol!! it was very good.

    • 22 years ago

    I made two batches of this recipe, each for a seperate New Year’s Eve Party, and it was a hit a both! I will definately make this again.

    • 22 years ago

    I like adding water chestnuts to this reciepe.

    • 22 years ago

    I doubled this recipe for a party and used a round chafing dish. I baked it in the oven for 20 minutes and then kept it warm over the sterno. I also modified the recipe a bit: more garlic(!), some white pepper, SALT (it needed it), some cream cheese (i had leftover in the fridge) and oddly enough – freshly grated nutmeg. The nutmeg really brought oomph to it. I didn’t add a lot, maybe 1/2 teaspoon (remember, I doubled this recipe). It was a hit! All proclaimed it to be better than a restaurants!

    • 22 years ago

    YUMMY!! Everyone loved it and it was so easy to make. Will make again!

    • 22 years ago

    This is wonderful and easy to make. I took it to a friend’s party and it was a hit. A lot of flavor.

    • 22 years ago

    Want something sinful? This is the right recipe! What a great crowd pleaser. Really good!! I even gave the recipe out to 2 brides for thier shower recipe card! I highly recommend this one! Yummy!!!

    • 22 years ago

    If you like TGIF’s version of this dip, you will LOVE this recipe. Always the first to go on the appetizer table and I can never leave the party without someone asking for the recipe.

    • 22 years ago

    The guests ate this within 5 minutes and demanded the recipe! Excellent! This is going in my cookbook!

    • 22 years ago

    This had wonderful flavor (I added extra fresh minced garlic, simply because I’m a garlic fiend), and was excellent served with tortilla chips, and chunks of sourdough bread.
    My only complaint was that it seemed a little thick as it cooled. I might try adding a little extra cream or sour cream next time. It was helpful to serve it in a stoneware dish, as it kept the heat a little better.

    • 22 years ago

    Very tasty and loved by all of my company, including the kids. My only change was that I used two cans of artichokes, one of which was in a marinade and I topped this dish with parm and a sprinkling of paprika.

    • 22 years ago

    I have to admit, I was a little disappointed with the end result. It wasn’t as flavorful or cheesy as I would have liked but I did use asiago cheese instead of the called for romano. Maybe next time!

    • 22 years ago

    This was so easy to make and it was excellent. Everyone loved it. They all wanted the recipe.

    • 22 years ago

    This dip was a big hit at my New Years party. I used a fondue pot to keep it warm, served it with bread cubes, baby carrots and celery. I also added a little more cheese than recipe called for and a little cream cheese. It was wonderful, It’s so good I have made it again and I will continue to…This is definately a keeper

    • 22 years ago

    I was disappointed in this dip. It was ok but not as creamy as I expected it to be. It came out too dry/thick for the suggested accompanying tortilla chips, had to tear up a round loaf of gourmet bread to go with it. At the cost of ingredients, I would not make this again.

    • 22 years ago

    The first time I tasted this dip was at a friend’s dinner party. We all polished it off within 10 minutes! She gave me the recipe, and I made it the next week for my very picky boyfriend. He devoured it… Try using asiago cheese along with the romano for a nice sharp flavor. Delicious!

    • 22 years ago

    Very good! I doubled the amount of artichokes and added a bit more cheese and garlic. Perfect!

    • 21 years ago

    Excellent! I don’t really like artichokes and I LOVE this!!! It was a hit at my holiday party! They even took home the little bit of leftover!

    • 21 years ago

    This recipe was good, but not what I had envisioned. I was envisioning a dip that would be similar to the first one I had at Planet Hollywood. I think I may have cooked the dip too long, because it wasn’t creamy, but the taste was ok. I’ll try it again, but pay attention to the length of time it is in the oven.

    • 21 years ago

    I loved this recipe. I served it at our Super Bowl party and it was a big hit! I cut up french bread in slices, brushed some melted butter on it and broiled it for a couple minutes and served it with the dip. This was a nice change from tortilla chips. I will definitely make it again.

    • 21 years ago

    Very good!

    • 21 years ago

    I made this recipe for our skating party and it was gobbled up in no time.Quick and easy to make, I would definately make it again. I added a little extra cheese to it.

    • 21 years ago

    This dip is easy to make and is absolutely delicious….as good or better than restaurant dip!!

    • 21 years ago

    I took this dip to a party, and everyone went crazy for it!

    • 21 years ago

    This is a good recipe. I added a few things to it: one medium red onion, minced, a tsp of pepper and a Tbsp of hot sauce. I divided it up into 4 servings (enough for 1-2 people) and put the others in the freezer for future use. Thanks for the recipe.

    • 21 years ago

    Applause Applause Applause. I made this the first time for a couple who had never come over to eat before. I served it as an appetizer with a crusty italian bread cut in about 3/4 inch slices. I doubled the recipe and we ate the whole thing it is that good. My guests were stunned and are still talking about what a “great cook I am”. The reaction was outstanding and the dip is perfect. I just added diced roma tomatoes and fresh chopped basil to the top just before serving. Be sure to let the top get nice and brown. If not it won’t be hot all the way through. We make this dish all the time now. It reheats great. Nice presentation and excellent texture. I would serve this to anybody at any occasion. Thank you for the great recipe.

    • 21 years ago

    since i made this it is all i am allowed to bring to family gatherings…..sinful

    • 21 years ago

    Very good recipe. I added another can of choped artichokes after everything was mixed. Because when you put the artichokes, garlic, romano, and parmesan in the processor it takes away the big chunks of artichoke for added flavor and texture! Will make again

    • 21 years ago

    This was very bland. I followed the recipe to the letter, and didn’t enjoy it at all. I’m giving the recipe three stars because my guests all seemed to like it (it’s possible they were just being polite).

    • 21 years ago

    Excellent dip!! Double the recipe and make enough for a couple of small casserole dishes, refridgerate and then when having a party you are ready to replenish!

    • 21 years ago

    This dip was a hit at my company Christmas party. Several people asked for the recipe. There were no leftovers here!
    I didn’t know if the parmesan cheese had to be fresh grated, so I used the regular Kraft stuff in the shaker and took a risk, and it was awesome!

    • 21 years ago

    What an excellent and easy dip! I made this twice in less than 3 days. This is something that you can experiment with by adding extra ingredients. My only (MINOR) complaint is that I think it needs to cook a lot longer than called for. I served this with homemade herbed, crusty bread. Yum!

    • 21 years ago

    I don’t ‘get’ all the rave reviews of this recipe. It needed at least 1 teaspoon of garlic salt, as it was bland. I didn’t like it with chips at all, crackers were OK, but toasted garlic bread probably would have helped the taste best. I will use this as a base to come up with my own variation because it was not creamy at all and I kept it warm the whole time.

    • 21 years ago

    Fantastic. Used homemade sourdough as the dipped item. SOOO good. The only change was we used a blend of mozzerella, romano, permesan, and asiago chees instead of just mozzerella.

    • 20 years ago

    I had a dinner party and made waaayyyyyyy too much food but this was the FIRST thing to go! It was so good. In addition to the recipe, I sprinked fresh grated Paresan on top before baking. I also used fresh spinach-steamed and chopped (just b/c I had it inthe house and didn’t have time to buy frozen) and it was great!

    • 20 years ago

    Good dip. I made a few changes, I doubled the sour cream, added 1/4 c. mayo, 1/2 pckt of Knorrs vegetable mix and black pepper to taste. Served this with with cocktail-sized rye and pumpernickel bread. We even ate it when it was cold, not bad.

    • 20 years ago

    Terrific – just like the kind served at restaurants! I added a bit more garlic and served it with crusty bread. A big hit!

    • 20 years ago

    ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! One of the best spinach and artichoke dips I have EVER tasted, I made this for my mom and dad’s anniversary dinner, absolutely raving about it! I definitely WILL make this again! Thanks so much for sharing!

    • 20 years ago

    very good. I used the food processor for the hard cheese and garlic but I hand chopped the artichokes because I like big chunks of artichoke and I can sort out the hard leaves that are some times on the canned artichokes. I made it 3 times (3 different events) the first weekend I tried it. Yummy!!

    • 20 years ago

    I forgot to get parmesan cheese from the store and it still turned out OK.

    • 20 years ago

    This is by far the BEST party dip I have every made or had ! Everyone always raves when I make it 🙂 This dip is even better then what you can get in a restaurant !

    • 20 years ago

    I was excited to try this recipe after reading the rave reviews …. I was very disappointed, while the flavor was good, it was very dry – I had expected the cheeses to melt together and get real gooey. Mine did not, the cheeses all got soft but never melted together. Not sure I would try this recipe again.

    • 20 years ago

    I didn’t care for this recipe at all. It lacked taste. I prefer the recipe that uses mayonnaise.

    • 20 years ago

    This is good! I did make a few alterations, though. Instead of the heavy cream, I used cream cheese. In my opinion, it made the dip creamier and cheesier–plus that’s what I happened to have on hand. Also, I used a blend of five Italian cheeses. I love garlic so I doubled that, and added a little salt and fresh-ground black pepper. It was delicious! For a crunchy topping, sprinkle parmesan cheese on top and place under the broiler for a few minutes after baking. I follow the low carb plan, so I top chicken breasts with this dip. Yum!

    • 20 years ago

    took suggestions of the other reviewers. Added a package of cream cheese to make it a bit more creamy.

    • 20 years ago

    I baked this tasty dip in deli-sliced turkey placed in muffin tins. The turkey holds his shape and this dip complements it perfectly. This is an awesome recipe!

    • 20 years ago

    it disappeared…

    • 20 years ago

    I wasn’t planning on adding the mozzarella, but after tasting it without, it was just missing so much flavor that I went ahead and tossed some in there. I also only used about 1/2 the box of spinach because I was afraid 10 oz. would over power (especially since I already felt like there was too many artichokes). I added some garlic powder, salt and pepper and used light mayo instead of sour cream. I think next time I will definitley use sour cream though, I think that’s JUST what this recipe was missing (I just hate a recipe where you can taste the sour cream and was afraid it would happen with this). I’m bringing some in to work tomorrow, so we’ll see how that goes…it’s a tought crowd!

    • 20 years ago

    The men at my party loved this, the women thought it was a bit bland. I would probably make it again (I also used cream cheese instead of heavy cream, very good) but would add more garlic and other spices.

    • 20 years ago

    This dip is a true knockout! When I prepare this dip for a party or holiday gathering people stand around the dip chatting and eating until it is all gone. The VERY BEST variation of the recipe I have ever made!

    • 20 years ago

    This dip is soooo much better than the cream cheese and/or mayo versions. This is the only recipe I’ll use in the future. Next time I will add a little more cream- it was a little dry. Could be because I added an additional cup of cheese on top and baked until that layer was browned. Yummm!

    • 20 years ago

    I would have prefered that it be mixed together rather than layered. Also, it look a longer to heat through than expected and it never really got “bubbly”.

    • 20 years ago

    Very good dip. I added 1/4 c chopped parsley, 1/4 c chopped green onions, 1/2 tsp dill weed, 1-1/2 tsp lemon juice and salt.

    • 19 years ago

    very good – should have added cream cheese to make it creamier

    • 19 years ago

    This recipie was not what I had expected. It was very chuncky and not at all creamy. I also found it to be bland. I did not vary from the recipie at all.

    • 19 years ago

    This recipe was fantastic for my superbowl party! I used some cream cheese as well, and added lump crab meat, extra garlic, white pepper, and a little hot sauce. I served it with toasted pita points brushed with butter and a little garlic salt.

    • 19 years ago

    WOW! Everyone loved this recipe! I’ve made it 3 times since Christmas! It also gave everyone a “taste” for artichokes, which was something we did not have prior to this! Some changes – I did not layer anything – mixed it all together and popped it in the oven. I did not use the heavy cream and instead added two 8oz bricks of softened cream cheese. I used a combo Romano/Parmesan already grated cheese. I used the jarred minced garlic in olive oil (and I doubled it for our family). It gets just a little crusty on the edges, but everyone inhaled those too. It is even better the next day (so it is safe to make a day ahead, if you can stand the yummy aroma!), and can be popped right back in the oven without losing anything. This is a total keeper at our house – many thanks for sharing! Wish I had some right now…

    • 19 years ago

    This was delicious, but had too much spinach for our tastes. Next time, we will use maybe half the spinach. It was overpowering to the point where I could barely taste the other flavors. I love spinach, so it turned out great, though, but I’d prefer to let the other tastes come through more… I followed recipe exactly except I used a blend of mozzarella, romano, provolone, and asiago instead of just mozzarella, and because I have an old blender that wouldn’t blend the artichokes and cheese without liquid, I added the cream to the blender instead of mixing in afterwards. Good recipe, thank you!

    • 19 years ago

    This recipe was perfect, I did add a bit more cheese than was called for, and it came out great. Also, it was even better the next day!

    • 19 years ago

    This dip is easy to make, even for a post-college frat boy! It tastes GREAT, too!

    • 19 years ago

    A favorite at all parties. My guests always love it.

    • 19 years ago

    This is GREAT! We’ve made it at least five times. I’m not much of one for measuring after the initial try, so I guesstimate, which makes it even faster! One jar of garlic marinated artichokes makes it SO good! I drain the oil and put other veggies in it in the fridge for extra mileage. My kids adore it and now love artichokes because of THIS dip! Very rich, very satisfying and very much in demand! YUM!

    • 19 years ago

    I tried this with some friends, now every time we have a get together I always have to make at least 2-3 batches.

    • 19 years ago

    Made this at least 6 times now. Everytime it is a huge hit! It is even great leftover and warmed in the microwave. Thanks!
