    I’ve had similar recipes that I’ve liked better.

    • 24 years ago

    This recipe turned out terrific. All my party guests loved it. In order to get a thicker consistency, I had to add more cheese and cook longer, but it tasted great!

    • 24 years ago

    This is similar to some restaurant versions. And my kids love it, and it’s easy. I like to dress it up with a few chopped tomatoes and a dollop of sour cream.

    • 24 years ago

    My family really enjoyed this appetizer. I’ve tried alot of artichoke dips and this one is great. I added a little cayenne pepper to spice it up.

    • 24 years ago

    I have used this recipe with all non-fat ingredients and it has been the hit of the summer! It travels well, and a few minutes in the microwave warms it right up!

    • 24 years ago

    This is a great dip and easy to make.

    • 24 years ago

    I did this one with all non-fat or low-fat items and couldn’t tell the difference. It vanished in seconds…

    • 24 years ago

    Add one finely chopped, seeded jalapeno pepper for added zip. I have served this cold on sliced baguette and crackers. It really does not need to be baked to be good.

    • 24 years ago

    Everyone loves this dip. I have made it several times and it is the best.

    • 24 years ago

    A huge hit! So easy to make and so delicious. People now request that I bring this dip to every gathering. I always double the recipe because it goes so fast.

    • 23 years ago

    A friend brought this to a party yesterday and we loved it!!! I’m looking forward to making this myself! The spinach flavor is not overpowering which I liked!

    • 23 years ago

    Great recipe! It went in like 10 minutes, and my guests wanted more! Definitely a dish worth doubling. Thanks, Youri, for an amazing recipe.

    • 23 years ago

    I made this dip for a barbecue and it got rave reviews. I doubled the batch, but I followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect. Of course next time I may add or tweek ingredience. A guy at the party suggested to add salsa, but I think he’s crazy. TRY IT! It was so rich, so good, and gone so fast!

    • 23 years ago

    I’ve been enjoying this recipe for a few months now and decided to take it a step further…I took a Boboli pizza shell and topped it with shredded mozzarella, then I spread 1/2 the baked dip over the cheese. Then I placed sliced roma tomatoes on top and baked according to the directions on the Boboli package. I sprinkled the pizza with a little romano cheese and served. It was out of this world! A truly gourmet pizza using this wonderful dip.

    • 23 years ago

    Use creamed spinach – I have made this several times and it is gone in seconds!! My mom’s dip sat untouched after this was brought out!! However, without the creamed spinach, the reviews were not that great.

    • 23 years ago

    I made this for a party and doubled the recipe. Everyone raved about it even those who don’t like vegetables. I think next time I will cut back on the amount of spinach and artichoke though. Otherwise it was delicious.

    • 23 years ago

    I tried this recipe a few weeks ago for a party I threw and everyone loved it! I used the creamed spinached, doubled the recipe and baked for 45 minutes. I’ve given the recipe to three of my friends since then and plan to make it again for a gathering I’m going to tomorrow. Now a definite must for me.

    • 23 years ago

    I made this dip for a party and everyone loved it. I used the creamed spinach instead of the plain spinach. I will definatly be making this again.

    • 23 years ago

    YUM! My husband doesn’t like mayo, sour cream or cream cheese but he really enjoyed this dip. Go Figure! Excellent appetizer!

    • 23 years ago

    Excellent response. I used creamed spinach and doubled the recipe.Definitely a keeper!! Just became a traditional holiday appetizer. Way to go..

    • 22 years ago

    This is the best recipe I have found for Artichoke Spinach Dip. Most recipes don’t have the cream cheese element & it makes the dish!
    I made it for a family get together & it was loved by all!

    • 22 years ago

    I brought this dip to a gathering and everyone loved it! I made it in a smaller pan though. 9×13 seems excessive.

    • 22 years ago

    I doubled the batch and it wasn’t enough! I used plain old chopped spinach like the recipe (not creamed like all the reviews say) I thought it was perfect. I added a little red onion and extra cheese, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly.

    • 22 years ago

    I made this for a Super Bowl Party and everyone loved it! It is so rich and creamy-PERFECT! Thanks for the great recipe!

    • 22 years ago

    This was so easy to make and everyone loved it.I will def.pass this one on!!Thanks for the recipe-it was sooo good!

    • 22 years ago

    Oh my- this is one of THE BEST appetizers I have ever had. I used to order spinach/artichoke dip when we were out at restaurants but this one is better than one I’ve ever had out! I served this at Christmas AND every gathering we’ve had since then. I am planning on taking it to my Women’s group meeting on Friday and I’m printing out the recipie BEFORE I go – since they are sure to ask for it. Oh yeah, and I always double it.

    • 22 years ago

    This recipe is awesome! I doubled it like the other reviews said and added a brick of cream cheese. I served it at my five year old’s birthday party and by the time I was done serving drinks to the guests the double batch was gone! The only little bit I got to try was when I was checking to see if it was heated through. I served it in a hollowed out bread round and it was perfect! Thanks!

    • 22 years ago

    I accidentally used the whole spinach package instead of half, no problem, it only made the dip “chunkier”. Still good with sour cream and salsa, as all the restaurants serve it that way. I will add more sour cream, I like mine creamier that way.

    • 22 years ago

    this was a great, easy recipe that everyone just loved…i wouldn’t change a thing! thanks!

    • 22 years ago

    simply delicious

    • 22 years ago

    YUUMMMMYYY!!!! I added a little cayenne pepper to spice it up a bit. It disappeared! Thanks for sharing Youri!

    • 22 years ago

    Better than any spinach dip I have ever had in a restaurant, and it is something I always order! I put it in a bread bowl and it was perfect!!!

    • 22 years ago

    Delish! I did use the whole box of frozen spinach which I think made this dip more dry. Next time I think I will double the cream cheese, sour cream and mayo for a creamier dip…or just cut back on the spinach they way the recipe intended. I also used marinated artichoke hearts, drained, for that extra tang.. I am also going to add shredded mozzarella next time. Served with blue tortilla chips….this dip was gone. Excellent flavor!

    • 22 years ago

    Awesome. It disappeared quickly at the party. Thanks!

    • 22 years ago

    I loved this dip. I added crabmeat and extra garlic salt for more flavor. I would reccomend using slightly less spinach.

    • 22 years ago

    A little sour but that could be because of the artichokes I used. Don’t skimp on the garlic & salt. Friends devoured this!

    • 22 years ago

    Everyone at my husband’s birthday dinner party enjoyed this! I served it with chunks of King’s Hawaiian bread. You can also hollow out the bread & fill with dip, served with torn pieces of the bread. Delicious!

    • 22 years ago

    Very easy to make and absolutely delicious!

    • 22 years ago

    Wow! This was SO easy and SO delicious. I tried it because so many of you liked it. More folks asked me for the recipe for this than anything else I served at my neighborhood Halloween party. Doubling the recipe yielded enough to fill two nice-sized circular pumpernickel loaves.

    • 22 years ago

    Very disappointed. I can’t believe this didn’t turn out good with all the rave reviews it has. I followed the recipe to a tee and it still turned out horrible. It was very dry & hard – we were trying to use it for a dip for chips. The chips broke off in it. Maybe it is more meant for breads, but we were expecting a creamy dip for chips (like in nice restaurants). Instead we ended up with a hard spread-type dish. We will not be trying this again unless we come up with a way to make it creamy. Sorry!

    • 22 years ago

    This is a great recipe!! I made it for some company one evening and it was a big hit!! Everyone wanted the recipe so I printed it out and passed them around! AWESOME!!!

    • 22 years ago

    Really good & easy. I added a little garlic & cajun spice for “kick”, also some smoked salmon, got rave reviews from friends & family.

    • 22 years ago

    Hooray I can finally make spinach-artichoke dip like the restaurants! I made this for the first time today for my bridesmaid luncheon, and we loved it! I doubled the recipe, and even though there were only 5 of us and a ton of this stuff, almost all of it got scarfed! Yum yum yummy!

    • 22 years ago

    I made this recipe twice this holiday season – it was great. I added a little more cream cheese (4 oz total) and about 2/3 of the package of frozen spinach. The dip was great topped with Monterey Jack cheese.

    • 22 years ago

    Great! Easy to make and everyone at the party asked for the recipe!

    • 22 years ago

    I have made this recipe twice within 2 weeks for gatherings and it has been a hit! I added some chopped onion and cheese on top for extra flavor. Just have to keep warming it up periodically.

    • 22 years ago

    I recently made the low fat version of this recipe for my Christmas party, and it was so good. I used low fat mayo, fat free cream cheese and fat free sour cream. I also could not find Romano cheese so I used Krafts Romano, Parmesan and Asiago grated cheese that you buy in the shaker. Guest raved about it! I baked it in the oven as indicated and then placed it in a small crockpot at the buffet to stay warm. For the small crockpot, I had to make twice as much to fill the pot.

    • 22 years ago

    Wow! I had a christmas party last night and the spinach dip was a huge hit. 5 people asked for the recipe! This recipe is basically foolproof, and EXCELLENT. Thanks!!

    • 22 years ago

    There was something that was off when I made this last night. I’m not sure if it was too garlicky or too Romano cheese flavored. Whatever it was, it didn’t go over too well and I followed the recipe exactly.

    • 22 years ago

    This is a delicious dip for parties. Somehow it was a bit too tangy at first, maybe
    from the mayo or sour cream, so I added another 1/8 cup cream cheese and 1/8 cup
    Parmesan cheese and it was delicious. I also added probably double the garlic.

    • 22 years ago

    When making this recipe for the first time, I decided to use fresh chopped spinach and added 5 oz. Following that, it seemed a bit dry so I added 1/3 cup more of cream cheese, mayo, Parmesan cheese and 1/2 c. mozzarella. I also increased the garlic to 1 tsp. It was fabulous!

    • 21 years ago

    I brought this in a bread bowl for a New Years party. I used pepper Jack cheese and two can’s of atrichokes. Everyone loved it! Very rich though.

    • 21 years ago

    My favorite appetizer ever. Very creamy. Great with tortilla chips.

    • 21 years ago

    This dip was absolutely delicious after a few minor alterations. I added 3/4 cup cream cheese instead of 1/4 cup and doubled the amount of Romano cheese. Tasted just like a “Cheesecake” restaurant’s dip!

    • 21 years ago

    Very good flavor. I might add a little more cheese and mayonaise next time to make it a little thinner.

    • 21 years ago

    This is a warm and fuzzy recipe for winter parties. I ommitted the cream cheese, increased the amount of sour cream and added dried vegetable soup mix for flavour. You can use any type of cheese as long as there’s lots of it. I used parmesan and cheddar b/c that’s what I had in the house. It’s a fool-proof recipe!

    • 21 years ago

    This was ok. The basics were there but I found it pretty bland when made exactly as the recipe stated. I made a double batch of this for a party. I used a full pkg spinach, 1/2 c sour cream, 1/2 c plain yogourt and 1/2 c cream cheese. Used 3-4 tbsp light mayo. Added at least 1 1/2 tbsp of minced garlic and some of the artichoke marinade for flavour. Next time I will use onions and salt also.

    • 21 years ago

    This is such an easy and delicious recipe, I’m so happy I’ve found it. There are so many things you can add to it depending on what you like too. Everytime I make it with a few extra ingredients and it’s always delicious.
    You can also throw it on a pizza dough and bake it up for a great spinach artichoke pizza.

    • 21 years ago

    I will be honest, I haven’t made this *exact* recipe but I make one that’s very close so I thought I’d share my suggestions. I use equal parts mayo (light is fine) and sour cream, no cream cheese. Also, a little fresh lemon juice and some extra garlic help give it some flavor. And finally…I think for any restaurant-quality spinach artichoke dip, monterrey jack cheese is a MUST! I use about 1 cup – half mixed into the dip and the other half baked on top (cover with foil while baking to prevent rubbery cheese). Oh, and I always serve with blue corn tortilla chips and a side of salsa and sour cream. All in all, this is a great and easy recipe to have on hand!

    • 21 years ago

    Super-dooper, fantastic, quick, easy recipe! I made it for a party I had today and disappointly there were no leftovers! A huge HIT! Thanks for submitting an awesome recipe I will add to my archives, Youri!

    • 21 years ago

    Made this for a Nascar party and my husbands friends ate the whole dish before I even got any! Excellent!

    • 21 years ago

    I had great expectations for this recipe, but I ended up a bit disappointed. It just didn’t taste like the restaurant versions that I’m used to. I may have tinkered with the measurements too much though. As other reviewers suggested, I added more cream cheese to make it creamier. I should have adjusted the sour cream accordingly, because I think the cream cheese was too overpowering. It just didn’t seem creamy enough when I was mixing it up, but it was once the cheese began to melt. My guests still ate it though, and they seemed to like it. Next time I’ll try sticking to the directions!

    • 21 years ago

    The flavor was good…whatever I use sour cream in, it separates and looks nasty, but it tasted ok. I used fresh spinach (less salty)and freshly grated Parmesan cheese..and more cheese, and more cheese. I served with Hawaiian bread, to kind of contrast flavors..good choice. Doesn’t make a whole lot..double or triple recipe. I didn’t use cream cheese, because it would have been too thick. Equal parts mayo and sour cream. A cream soup might be good in it too..theres always a soup for something!

    • 21 years ago

    I love this recipe!!! I use fat-free ingredients and add parmesan cheese to the recipe. The dip tastes good on triscuit crackers, town house crackers, and toasted sour dough bread.

    • 21 years ago

    I served this at my wedding reception 3 months ago and am still getting requests for the recipe. Many say it is the best they ever had!

    • 21 years ago

    Excellent dip! I did add extra garlic and monterey jack cheese, it was great. I think next time I will alter the ingredients to be creamier. All in all, a great recipe, simple and delicious!

    • 21 years ago

    I liked this recipe, but next time I would add less spinach and more cheese.

    • 21 years ago

    I’ve had better and I’ve had worse. It was good and my family enjoyed it. Nice and creamy.

    • 21 years ago

    Two enthusiastic yums up! I made with lite mayo and fat free sour cream and added a little more crushed garlic. I made it as an appetizer at a dinner party. The bowl was scraped clean. Delish!

    • 21 years ago

    My husband and I loved this recipe. I’ve brought it to a couple of get togethers and everyone raved and asked for the recipe. Be careful not to cook it too long or it tends to get dry.

    • 21 years ago

    Very good and easy recipe. Still looking for a recipe that is a bit more creamy but this one is really good too…

    • 21 years ago

    This is a good dip. My husband loved it. It is very rich and goes a long way. I would recommend having it with crisp baguette slices because the flavor goes nicely. Impressive for friends….

    • 21 years ago

    Although this recipe is easy to make it just did not taste good. It’s hard to put into words but the cream cheese didn’t help and literally the second it cooled (which is going to happen as people dip) it changed it’s flavour yet again. I will not be making this recipe again.

    • 21 years ago

    Great. Tired of paying over $6 for this at a restaurant as an appetizer. Will certainly make again.

    • 21 years ago

    Finally, I found a dip I like. this was pretty good. I don’t think there was enough spinach. I also added a little extra cream cheese and romano cheese., next time I will use more spinach.

    • 21 years ago

    I prepared this in my mini-crockpot and plugged it in right when the first guest arrived. Over half of it was gone before it totally warmed through! I didn’t alter the recipe except for substituting grated parmesan for the romano (it was all we had in the house). What a great recipe! Garlic lovers will need to add more garlic….and I would probably add romano in addition to the parm next time I serve this. Thanks!!

    • 21 years ago

    This dip is delicious. I substituted marinated artichokes to give it some zing and eliminated the cream cheese (upping the mayo to 1/2 cup). I make this a couple of days ahead to let the flavor blend (before baking)…it makes a difference in the dip’s final taste.

    • 21 years ago

    I started using this recipe a year ago. It has been to several parties with me, and specifically requested to be brought again this holiday season. It’s been passed on to family and friends. As my cousin said she made it for a party and never even got to have any! her girlfriend has nicknamed it “Supremo Yum” I lost the recipe, tried others and they were all missing something. I finally hunted it down through my cousin and many people are gratefull
    Thank you Youri

    • 21 years ago

    This recipe is the best!! I’m a college student who appreciates a good, quick appetizer to take to parties. When I made this, everyone goes on and on about how great it os and there’s never any left over! Highly recommend!!

    • 21 years ago

    Made this for a Christmas Eve Appetizer, we thought it was the best artichoke dip we have ever had. Thanks.

    • 21 years ago

    Brought this to a Christmas party and it disappeared in record time!

    • 21 years ago

    This was very bland. It needs some spices or something to liven it up. It was very creamy though. I think next time I’d use a flavoring combination from other recipes and use this as a base.

    • 21 years ago

    Delicious! I made it for a pot luck/christmas party. Trippled the recipe (25 people) and there was nothing left. The only change I made was I didn’t have Romanoo cheese to I used Parmigiano, I also forgot to chop the artichoke hearts. Came out nicely chunky and creamy.

    • 20 years ago

    This recipe is 5 stars to me with a few changes. I like more spinach than artichoke so I used 1 whole package of frozen spinach which I cooked for 4 min in micro and only one jar of artichokes. I added monterey jack like others suggested and onion powder. I almost doubled the cheese sour cream mix to make it creamier. Took it to a party and got many compliments. It really did taste like a restarant-style dip.

    • 20 years ago

    This recipe was ok. I didn’t love it.

    • 20 years ago

    Wonderful! Everyone loved it. I did add some extra cheese. It was very easy and i will make this again.

    • 20 years ago

    The cream cheese makes it a little different from other recipes. Really very good….(but gets kinda gross when it gets cold!)

    • 20 years ago

    Good and easy. Used light ingredients and didn’t seem to affect consistancy.

    • 20 years ago

    Excellent and very easy. I added more cheese just because my family loves cheese. Thanks for sharing.

    • 20 years ago

    This was just what I had hoped it would be- just like I’ve had in restaurants! I made it for a cooking club I’m in and I almost stayed home to eat it all myself. Everyone loved it, one person even joked she would like to lick the bowl. It was so easy to make too, I will definitely make this again and again! I did add about a cup of shredded monterey jack cheese to the mixture before baking however, and it was perfection! And only one bowl to clean up when you are done! I served it with chips and sourdough bread, delish!

    • 20 years ago

    Excellent! It was very easy to make. I used all fat-free products (except for the Romano cheese, of course) and it turned out delicious. I topped it with some shredded white cheddar near the end & let it melt. It was a nice final touch. I served it with fat-free Tostito corn chips & viola! I had a yummy, virtually fat-free appetizer.

    • 20 years ago

    This was so good and almost ridiculously easy to make. I served with Sara’s Spicy Bagel Bites – yum! I even used low fat sour cream and cream cheese and it was still delicous – thanks for the keeper recipe!

    • 20 years ago

    Really good. If you’ve had this at Milestone’s, this one’s even better. I used light miracle whip for mayo, and fat free sour cream. Nobody would ever have been able to tell. i also melted monterey jack cheese on it. next time it will be jalopeno jack cheese!

    TIP: If you’re using fresh spinach, like I did, don’t use more then 5-7 ounces, as with 10 ounces it’s very runny.

    • 20 years ago

    Very easy to make. Was a big hit at the party I brought it to. I did not alter the recipe at all but I am going to work on making it again with lower fat content ingredients.

    • 20 years ago

    Very, very good. I was told it’s the best ever, though I thought it seemed to be missing something. It was delicious anyway, and it was all eaten very quickly. This will probably be my default recipe, though I may tinker with it. Thanks!

    • 20 years ago

    I just made this dip and can’t stay away from it. I’m not a cheese eater, so the dip had the perfect amount of cheese in it for me. Thanks for an easy to make, delicious recipe!

    • 20 years ago

    This was awesome! It needed no modifications; it was just perfect. We ate it as a dip for red peppers. A definate keeper.

    • 20 years ago

    I thought that this recipe was just ‘okay’. I thought it would be creamier, like in the restaurants. Didn’t think that it would dry out like it did, I left it in the oven for about 10 mins. longer with the oven turned off till guests arrived, but when I took it out, it was a bit dry. More spreadable w/ a knife or spoon. I don’t know if this made a difference. Also, I used UNMARINATED artichoke hearts, so I don’t know if the recipe should use MARINATED ones. The flavor was a bit bland. Might try Marinated next time for added flavor.

    • 20 years ago

    Good dip, but it did turn out a little dry.

    • 20 years ago

    Excellent dip!!! Everyone went crazy over it…my addition was 1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack Pepperjack cheese (1/2 cup on top)…oh, I doubled the recipe!
