4-CHEESE SPINACH-ARTICHOKE DIP



4-Cheese Spinach-Artichoke Dip image

This is my first submitted recipe. I have tried many other spinach dip recipes from this website, but felt like something was missing or they were too "Alfredo-ey." So I modified the recipes I found to eliminate the Alfredo sauce and substituted in the cheeses I had on hand. Voila! A delicious recipe that I felt proud to share with my fellow cooks. Serve with chips or veggies. I hope you enjoy!

Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 (16 ounce) bag fresh spinach, chopped
½ cup chopped marinated artichoke hearts
2 tablespoons diced onion
1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 ounces processed cheese food (such as Velveeta®), cubed
2 ounces horseradish Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add spinach, artichoke hearts, and any marinade oil that remains after chopping them. Add onion, garlic, pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes; cook, stirring regularly so it doesn't burn on the bottom, until spinach has wilted and mixture is wet, about 3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, processed cheese, and Cheddar cheese. Stir occasionally and allow to simmer, uncovered, until cheeses have melted and some of the water from the spinach has cooked off, about 3 more minutes. This allows the herbs and spices to infuse their flavor into the dip. Serve hot.

THE BEST SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP



The Best Spinach Artichoke Dip image

This is our best version of the classic party dip. It's savory and creamy with a slight tang from sour cream and Parmesan -- so hard to resist. We like to use frozen whole leaf spinach and chop it ourselves for more control over the finished texture of the dish.

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, grated
One 10-ounce box frozen leaf spinach, thawed, drained, squeezed dry and coarsely chopped (see Cook's Note)
One 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained well and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup shredded whole-milk mozzarella
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crackers, chips or toasted bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Put the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and garlic in a large bowl. Mix vigorously until combined and smooth. (If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
  • Bake until the dip begins to bubble, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and continue to cook, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn, until the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with crackers, chips or toasted bread.

5 tablespoons pecorino Romano cheese (divided)
1/2 teaspoon dried basil

  • In a medium bowl add the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise and grate in the garlic.

  • Next add the remaining mozzarella, asiago, parmesan and Romano cheese. Then add in the chopped artichokes and spinach. Season with dried basil, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
  • Transfer mixture to a prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle with the reserved four cheeses before sliding it onto the middle rack of you preheated oven.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Remove and let cool slightly before serving.
  • Serve with corn tortilla chips, baked pita chips or pumpernickel bread.

SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP



Spinach Artichoke Dip image

Spinach artichoke dip has a way of inciting controversy. Should it be served cold or hot? Is it lowbrow or classic? Should it be served in a bread bowl or with tortilla chips? Well, the good news is that there are no wrong answers here, only delicious, creamy dip. This particular one is best served hot (or at least room temperature), but it is also acceptable to spread it on crackers after being chilled. And with the inclusion of fresh spinach, it could almost be described as classy. Use canned artichoke hearts; they've got a tangier flavor and better texture than the frozen ones. If you want to go a step further, transfer it to a skillet and run it under the broiler after cooking, which gives you bubbling dip with a golden top.

Time 25m

Yield 2 to 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
1 12-ounce bunch fresh spinach, finely chopped (or 1 10-ounce package frozen spinach, defrosted, drained and finely chopped)
Pinch of red-pepper flakes (optional)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 (14-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
8 ounces cream cheese, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn or shredded
4 ounces sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup Pecorino Romano or Parmesan, finely grated

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring until it's softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add spinach to pot one handful at a time, letting each handful completely wilt before adding the next. Add crushed red pepper, if using, and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid from the spinach has evaporated (no need to drain), about 3 minutes. Add artichokes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes, just to take the raw edge off the artichokes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add cream cheese and mozzarella. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir until all the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream and pecorino, and season with more salt and pepper. You can certainly eat this dip straight from the pot (or transferred to a serving bowl), but running it under the broiler for a crispy top is also an excellent option. To do so, transfer dip to a small ovenproof skillet (6 to 8 inches). Place in oven and broil until the top is golden and the dip is bubbling, 5 to 8 minutes. Let sit a minute or two before serving.

CREAMY CHEESY SPINACH DIP



Creamy Cheesy Spinach Dip image

This recipe doesn't contain mayo or sour cream like most, so it's very cheesy and very delicious. I'm asked for the recipe every time I make it. For those who don't want a strong cheese like Cheddar, you can replace it with anything you like or even leave it out altogether. I like adding the Cheddar because it adds color and a little more flavor.

  • For a creamier dip, use a combination of cheeses that melt well, such as mozzarella, cheddar, and cream cheese. You can also add a splash of milk or cream to the dip before baking.
  • If you like your dip spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the dip before baking.
  • Serve the dip with a variety of dippers, such as tortilla chips, pita chips, or crackers. You can also serve it with fresh vegetables, such as celery, carrots, or bell peppers.
  • To make the dip in a slow cooker, combine all of the ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on low for 2-3 hours, or until the dip is bubbly and hot.
