SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS

MIX-INS: You can add crab meat or canned shrimp to this great recipe.

How To Make This Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

I often end up doubling or tripling this recipe before guests come because it disappears so quickly.

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13-inch or oval baking dish.

STEP TWO: Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.

PRO TIP:

It’s a good idea to squeeze out the excess water from the frozen spinach as much as possible, then blot drained spinach with paper towels. Also, pat dry the artichokes before chopping. This helps so that they don’t fall apart when slicing.

STEP THREE: Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.

STEP FOUR: Bake dip for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and stir well.

STEP FIVE: Bake dip for 15 minutes more or until cooked through.

STEP SIX: Serve with chips and crackers of choice.

PRO TIP:

You can even keep this easy spinach artichoke dip recipe warm in a crockpot or slow cooker for all afternoon munching.

How to Serve

I love serving this creamy spinach dip with crispy tortilla chips. The dip is all warm and gooey and packed with flavor that goes perfectly with the crunch of the chips! You could also use crackers or bread — warm and soft, pita wedges or a crisp baguette. Veggies such as celery sticks and carrot sticks taste great too!
