This Spinach Artichoke Dip has been one recipe that I keep perfecting, perfecting, perfecting… And now. It’s perfect. Okay okay I know we all have our opinion on what’s perfect. But this is pretty darn good, I’ll tell you that. Weirdly enough, I don’t love spinach and I don’t love artichokes. But put them together (with a few other delicious things) and you get something dreamy.
I love eating this dip with chips. But you can also eat with crackers or bread. Or a hodge podge of all of it! That’s like a circle of goodness just waiting to be presented at your next party.
1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts
1/2 package (5oz) frozen spinach
1 can green chiles
8 oz cream cheese – softened
2/3 cup mayo
2/3 cup sour cream
1 cup parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
3/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Step 2: Drain artichoke hearts and place in a food processor with the spinach. Turn food processor on for 3-5 seconds. When artichokes and spinach look uniformly chopped, place in large mixing bowl.
Step 3: Place softened cream cheese in with the artichokes and spinach. Mix until combined.
Step 4: Add green chiles, mayo and sour cream. Mix until all is combined.
Step 5: Add parmesan, garlic salt, cayenne and red pepper flakes. Mix again until well combined.
Step 6: Once mixture looks well combined, smooth mixture into a 9×13 pan.
Step 7: Bake for 30 minutes, until edges are slightly golden and mixture is bubbling.
Step 8: Serve with crackers, bread or tortilla chips.
