    This dip is delicious and a huge hit at parties. I substituted pepper jack cheese for the monteray jack to add a bit of spice. I served it in a hollowed out sourdough round with warm pita bread brushed with olive oil. Very yummy!

    • 24 years ago

    This recipe made my party a success!

    • 24 years ago

    This was awesome! I also substituted with pepperjack cheese,everyone loved it.

    • 24 years ago

    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.

    • 24 years ago

    I spread this dip onto baguette slices and put them under the broiler til they bubbled. It’s the best appetizer I’ve found in years!

    • 24 years ago

    This dip just disappears! It is tastes fantastic and is very easy to make. Everyone will be asking for the recipe!

    • 24 years ago

    This is great! My husband and I tried it for ourselves, but we are now planning parties, just so we have a reason to make this four our friends.

    • 24 years ago

    Good recipe. However, it was much better when I cut back on the mayo and substitued a 4-blend pizza cheese package for just plain parmesan.

    • 24 years ago

    great dip enjoyed by all

    • 24 years ago

    This dip recipe outdoes some of the best eateries around here!

    • 24 years ago

    Made this dish twice last weekend for 2 separate parties (only planned to make it once, but it was so good and easy, I changed my menu for the second party and made it again). Everyone raved about it, and scraped the bowl clean!

    • 24 years ago

    This is the best appetizer recipe I have ever made. Brought it to an office potluck and it was the only dish that completely disappeared.

    • 24 years ago

    My guests loved this dish. I added chopped garlic and served it with toasted pita triangles. Very godd and tasy.

    • 24 years ago

    I LOVE this recipe!

    • 24 years ago

    This was really good! I made this for us to eat at home but can’t wait to try it out at the next party!

    • 24 years ago

    My guests just raved about this one as they gobbled it up with tortilla chips!

    • 24 years ago

    A huge hit at parties. I like to serve this with tortilla chips – its great.

    • 24 years ago

    this would have been very good without the spinach. i will make it again, but next time, i will omit the spinach and add crab instead. (maybe some roasted red peppers)

    • 24 years ago

    In my little New York City apartment, this was an easy first recipe to make for friends while we stayed in a rented a movie. WAY better than popcorn.

    • 24 years ago

    This was one of the best recipies for Spinach & Artichoke Dip I have found yet!! Thank you!

    • 24 years ago

    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.

    • 24 years ago

    This is great…..I added habenero and pepper jack cheese for an added kick!!

    • 24 years ago

    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!

    • 24 years ago

    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)

    • 24 years ago

    This dip is fabulous. I made it for Christmas Day this year, and I do believe I could have made nothing else. Everyone loved it.

    • 24 years ago

    I used Pepper Jack cheese for added zip. Awesome!!

    • 23 years ago

    I admit, I had my doubts about a hot mayo dip. But it was the highlight of my dinner party. I had to recite the recipe to at least five different people. I’ll make it again for sure.

    • 23 years ago

    I added some onion powder, garlic, and pepper to this recipe. It turned out very good. Yummy!

    • 23 years ago

    I cannot believe how good this was! I practically ate it all myself!

    • 23 years ago

    Everyone loves this. I use pepper jack cheese for extra flavor and serve it with tortilla chips. I also use salsa as an accompaniment to this dip — the two flavors together are great!

    • 23 years ago

    Very easy, but the mayo was overpowering. Added sour cream and garlic the 2nd time and was good.

    • 23 years ago

    This dip is so easy to make, I even put it in the microwave for about 5-7 minutes instead of baking it. Also put a little paprika on the top, great recipe!

    • 23 years ago

    Use Jalapeno Jack cheese and Monterey Jack cheese and it makes a wonderful dip with a little zing

    • 23 years ago

    This is a delicious recipe! Everyone who has tried it wants the recipe.

    • 23 years ago

    Good Stuff! I also threw in some pepper jack for a little kick.

    • 23 years ago

    Yum! This dip was great! Everyone at the BBQ loved it. The spinach seemed a little overpowering of the artichokes, so next time, I will try adding 2 cans of artichoke hearts! YUM!

    • 23 years ago

    Made this for my boyfriend and his family as an appetizer for dinner. They loved
    it and by the time dinner roled around, there was no dip to be found. No fail!

    • 23 years ago

    I made it for my mom and sis. NOT good! Threw it out.

    • 23 years ago

    Finally a dip my kids love, will eat, and isn’t spicy!! Thank you, this recipe is perfect!

    • 23 years ago

    i made this with two cans of artichoke hearts instead of the one, because i love them so much! and this dip is wonderful, easy, yummy, and a crowd pleaser for sure!!!!

    • 23 years ago

    I like to serve this dip with garlic flavored bagel chips.

    • 23 years ago

    Thanks for this great recipe. It was a huge hit at my party.

    • 23 years ago

    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!

    • 23 years ago

    Will definately make again, mabye using slightly less mayo. Very easy and yummy!!

    • 23 years ago

    Very good! I forgot the mayonaise and it was still very delicious. Especially for artichoke lovers.

    • 23 years ago

    Fantastic served warm. Even reheats well.

    • 23 years ago

    Pretty good. I would use a little less mayonnaise next time. It seemed a little rich, but maybe because I used marinated artichoke hearts. Husband didn’t like at all.

    • 23 years ago

    This is one the first recipes that I could actually make by myself,it is so easy. I took it to a party and everyone loved it. This dip goes wonderfully with Triscuit Thin Crisp Crackers in Onion and Chive flavor.

    • 23 years ago

    Easiest recipe takes 5 minutes to stir in the ingredients and pop in the oven!

    • 23 years ago

    This is the best spinach artichoke dip recipe that I have found. I altered it a little, using 1/2 cup mayo and 1/2 cup sour cream and adding 2 cloves of garlic minced. Delicious! I made it for a party and keep getting asked for the recipe. It’s a keeper!

    • 23 years ago

    We had some friends over and this a big hit. I used only about 3/4 of the spinach which gave it a creamier texture.

    • 23 years ago

    This was an excellent dip. I also added bacon and chopped olives for more flavor. It was gone in minutes!!

    • 23 years ago

    I used this recipe at a potluck and it was a hit. It was completely gone by the end of the night and everyone was asking me for the recipe!
    Claudia

    • 23 years ago

    Wow! We love garlic so we added some to the recipe and I can’t believe how good this came out. I will make this again.

    • 23 years ago

    Excellent and I will make again!

    • 23 years ago

    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.

    • 22 years ago

    One of the best “dip or spread” recipes I have tried in many years.

    • 22 years ago

    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!

    • 22 years ago

    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.

    • 22 years ago

    I didn’t like the mayo.

    • 22 years ago

    i have had a lot of diferent dips and I love this one b/c i don’t like spinach cooked but you really can’t taste it since there is so much cheese.

    • 22 years ago

    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!

    • 22 years ago

    If you don’t mind the extra pounds this will add it is wonderful. My husband and I thought we found a gold mine. It was great hot or cold.

    • 22 years ago

    This dip was great!!! Better than the resturant versions I’ve had. I put in Pepper Jack instead of Monteray. I also added green onions. It was just wonderful. Thank you soooo much for this recipe!!!!

    • 22 years ago

    This dip had good reviews at my BBQ, however next time I make it I will alter it a bit. I would add an additional can on artichoke to balance out the cheese.

    • 22 years ago

    I made this 5 minutes before my guests arrived for a party. It came out delicious. I served half of it in a pumpernickel bread bowl and the other half with lime-flavored tortilla chips. It was a hit!

    • 22 years ago

    I made this as an appetizer for my parents they loved it! I even added a little crabmeat to the top when I baked it. It was fabulous. How dare they charge so much in a restaurant when you order from their menu!

    • 22 years ago

    Thanks for sharing a great recipe. What a hit – everyone wanted the recipe.

    • 22 years ago

    Not really good when a little cold. Do not recommend for tailgating.

    • 22 years ago

    5 stars!! I have been searching for a great arichoke dip and this is definately the winner!

    • 22 years ago

    This wasn’t as good as some I have had but it went fast at the party I brought it to. I used my food processor to chop the artichokes and spinach and that worked well. I did the half sour cream/half mayo combo as well.

    • 22 years ago

    This dip is a hit at every party. To keep it soft and easy to dip for large parties, I dont bake it, but instead mix it up and put it in a crockpot set on warm with chips on the side. This dip is better than what most restaurants serve. Thanks for the great recipe!!

    • 21 years ago

    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!!!

    • 21 years ago

    I really liked this. Followed a lot of the modifications submitted by fellow reviewers and all my guests just ate this up!

    • 21 years ago

    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!!!!

    • 21 years ago

    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.

    • 21 years ago

    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.

    • 21 years ago

    This dip tasted really good but was a little bit too thick and cheesy and didn’t get quite heated through after just 15 minutes. I would use only 1 cup of monterey jack next time.

    • 21 years ago

    This was fabulous. Made pita chips to dip in it. My daughter preferred just the chips though.

    • 21 years ago

    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.

    • 21 years ago

    I have made this several times now and it is always a hit! I do add one clove of minced garlic and use less cheese. This is also a good recipe if you are eating less carbs.

    • 21 years ago

    This is a very popular dish at parties. Very easy to whip up in 15 minutes, but make sure you serve immediately.

    • 21 years ago

    This recipe was simple, tasty and easy to bring to parties. Everyone loved it. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

    • 21 years ago

    This is THE ONE Spinach Artichoke dip recipe. Be sure to thoroughly drain the spinach, wrap with paper towels then newspaper and press to extract the liquid. Excellent.

    • 21 years ago

    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!!

    • 21 years ago

    Mmmm…Easy and delicious! I used cheddar instead of the Monterey Jack and it turned out great!! Defintely a keeper.

    • 21 years ago

    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!!

    • 21 years ago

    Easy and delicious! A Keeper!

    • 21 years ago

    I always make this dip for parties and get-togethers that’s how much we love it! If you love garlic as much as I do, add 4 minced cloves of garlic.

    • 21 years ago

    I make this recipe all the time – I’m always asked for the recipe at parites. It’s super easy too! My only suggestion is to add a couple cloves of chopped garlic. YUM.

    • 21 years ago

    Excellent and so easy! It was a big hit at my company party.

    • 21 years ago

    This has to be the best artichoke appetizer EVER! YUM! YUM!

    • 21 years ago

    I didn’t particularly like this and I couldn’t figure out why. However, everyone else raved about it. It took longer than 15 mins to cook but I then kept it hot in my fondue pot, which worked well.

    • 21 years ago

    This was a big hit at my party. And it was so easy to make. I will definitely make it again. Thanks for the recipe!

    • 20 years ago

    It was very good…next time I’ll add a little garlic. It just seemed like it was missing a little something.

    • 20 years ago

    I pre-made this a night before, I intended to add some seasonings but forgot. After I baked it I tried it and decided to add a little garlic and onion seasonings. Much better with than without. Very yummy.

    • 20 years ago

    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).

    • 20 years ago

    I’d rate this a 10 if there was the option!

    • 20 years ago

    Absolutely delicious! It only lasted a few minutes when it was served. And so easy to make. A real party hit.

    • 20 years ago

    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.
