What a terr ific recipe!! We substituted a Mexican cheese mixture instead of the plain Monterey Jack and it didn’t melt as well as the Monterey Jack probably does, but it was still delicious! We put it in a hollowed out bread round and used the bread from the round to “dip” the dip. Everyone in the family loved it!! It is extremely easy to make and very tasty. Better than the Spinach Artichoke dips you find in restaurants.

By far the best Spinach & Artichoke Dip I’ve ever made! I’ve made it over and over and it absolutely disappears at parties as everyone wolfs it down. Everyone loves it and asks for the recipe. My brother even likes it and he normally can’t stand anything with mayonnaise. Great to serve with tortilla chips or sliced baguette.

I don’t have a food processor so I just dumped the drained artichoke hearts in a bowl and mushed them into smaller pieces with my fingers. I used the creamed spinach and didn’t drain it so I cut down on the mayo. An italian mix of cheeses instead of just parmesan gives it more flavor. I also added some garlic powder and dried minced onions. I had planned on taking this to work tomorrow for a Christmas potluck but there may not be any left! Great recipe!

Loved it! I cooked it exactly as written with no ingredient changes! It was perfect as is! I served it with oven-toasted pita bread sections (brushed with olive oil) and with Tostitos. Was a hit with my husband (who usually sneers at mention artichokes & spinach) and with my parents and with me! Plan to make this one again (& again)

My college-age son asked me to make him a spinach-artichoke dip, so I tried this one, as I’d never had or made any before. He raved over it, so I’ll be making it for whenever he can come home from school. I used marinated artichoke hearts (2 jars of them), and used 1/2 cup of mayo and 1/2 cup of sour cream. It was great w/ tortilla chips, reheated beautifully in the microwave. Thanks for sharing the great recipe!

Stop! If you’re looking for a flavorful dip, don’t choose this one. I took it to a family gathering and everyone said it was bland — missing something. I looked at the recipe again and should have known. It has no salt, worcestire, garlic or anything really flavorful. If you do make this one, add some spices. I felt like I wasted a whole batch of dip.

Wow! I come from a family of fabulous cooks (I’m trying to get there myself!). I made this recipe for one of our gatherings and everybody was asking for the recipe! Since I can’t stand mayonaise, I used 1/2 a cup of sour cream and 1/2 cup of mayo and added another half can of artichokes. Delicious!

This is absolutely the best recipe for artichoke dip I have ever tried. It is always a huge hit at parties, and everyone asks for the recipe! I have found that the flavors blend better if mixed the night before and refrigerated until ready to spread into a baking dish and heated.

This was the best spinach and artichoke dip i’ve ever eaten. Its even better than the ones cooked at a local restaurant and I didn’t think anyone could have a recipe better than theirs!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!! It lasts forever and you can freeze it and defrost it, then you can heat it up and its as good as when it was first cooked!

Wow was this good! We went to a friends house for a party and she served this and then I had her e-mail me the recipe. She did the 1/2 mayo 1/2 sourcream also. I did change a few things myself… I used 2 cups italian seasoned cheese (seasoned with pesto and garlic) and instead of the mont. jack cheese I used Asiago and then did the Parm. cheese on the top. The Asiago just gives it a little extra kick. Also I put extra artichokes in and leave them a little more on the chunky side. This is a new staple in our home for a quick hot snack : )
Thanks!!! -

This dip is incredible. I refuse to eat Spinach and Artichoke dip and restaraunts anymore, because it doesn’t compare. I made this for the first time on Thanksgiving, and everyone loved it. My boyfriends makes requests for it all the time. If you serve this with warm sliced French Bread, it’s off the hook!!!!

I used this recipe on several occasions throughout the holiday season with great success. I incorporated some of the comments from other reviewers and used mexican shredded cheese substituted 1/2 reduced fat sour cream for 1/2 the mayo. I also made the recipe ahead of time,divided the recipe in half and froze it for later use. Of course you do need to allow more time for cooking but it was great to have on hand.

What a great recipe! Sooo addictive! Made this for a bridal shower and noone could stop eating it! However, I did change a couple of things from the original recipe. Per suggestion of a few other comments, I used half sour cream- but instead of mayo for the other half- i chose to use Miracle Whip. I like the flavor it adds better than mayo.

Great recipe. To get the richest flavor, I had 8 strips of fried and crumbled bacon. I found the cheese to be way to much. Using slightly less than 1 cup is what I have settled on. I have never served this and had leftovers. It is incredibly easy and you will get nothing but rave reviews.

What a winner! This dip is incredible and addictive. I substituted 1 cup of the Monterey cheese w/ a cup of Pepper Jack and it gives it a wonderful kick! No need to grease the baking dish as the cheese will not stick. This one is a definite keeper. I make it for our family all of the time and will continue for years to come!!

Excellent! I had never made a artichoke dip before, but a friend asked me to make one for a party, and it was devoured. I took other people’s tips and I went 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup mayo, and I added a bunch of garlic. I also used marinated, already chopped, artichoke hearts, which actually made throwing this together a breeze. I will definietly use this one again!!

Wow! Was this fabulous! At the party we pretty much stood around this bowl and ate! And I had made a double batch! Great with a hearty crostini or with Triscuits – it’s quite haevy to dip. Next time, though, I will put it on a warming tray to keep it more melted. (Naturally, the cheese hardens as it cools).

This is great! So simple, yet tastes fantastic with french bread or tortilla chips. Definitely requires a hot plate or such to keep it warm, though; when I get the chance I intend to try making it in a slow cooker so I can hold it over low heat for parties. I will post how well that works when I can.
