THE BEST SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP
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.

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.

AMAZING SPINACH ARTICHOKE CASSEROLE
This is a family favorite...spinach, fresh mushrooms, artichokes and cheeses make up a mouth-watering side dish that is creamy and delicious. This recipe has a lot of steps, but it is relatively easy and is well worth it. If you are a garlic lover, add an additional clove or two of pressed garlic to the mixture without roasting it first. This is my most requested vegetable casserole recipe, and it is a Thanksgiving favorite.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place garlic cloves in a small oven-safe dish, and roast in the preheated oven until softened and fragrant, about 20 minutes. Set roasted garlic cloves aside to cool.
- Place the spinach in a large mixing bowl, and stir in the artichoke hearts.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the mushrooms until softened, about 10 minutes. Mix in the green onions, and cook and stir until onions are soft, about 5 more minutes. Transfer the mushrooms, green onions, and butter from the skillet into the bowl with spinach mixture.
- Remove cream cheese from wrapping, place into a microwave-safe bowl, and cook in the microwave until warm and very soft, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir the softened cream cheese into the spinach mixture, and add the sour cream, water chestnuts, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, garlic salt, and lemon juice. Squeeze the roasted garlic out of the garlic skins, and mix thoroughly into the spinach mixture. Spoon the casserole into a round 2-quart baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Spread French-fried onion rings over the top, return to the oven, and bake until the onion rings are lightly browned, 5 to 10 more minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Drain juice from one jar of artichokes into frying pan.
- Sauté onion and garlic in the artichoke juice, simmer and cool.
- Chop artichokes and mix with the cooled onions and garlic.
- Combine artichoke mixture, breadcrumbs, cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, parsley, oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary and Tabasco sauce together until well blended.
- Pour the artichoke mixture into a greased 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch pan.
- Bake in a 350° oven for 40 minutes.
- Let cool 5 minutes; cut and enjoy.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh artichokes and spinach will give your squares the best flavor. If you can't find fresh artichokes, you can use frozen or canned artichokes, but be sure to drain them well before using.
- Cook the artichokes and spinach properly: The artichokes should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them. The spinach should be wilted but still have some of its bright green color.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the squares tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the squares until they are golden brown: The squares should be baked until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the squares cool before serving: The squares will be easier to cut and serve if you let them cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Conclusion:
Artichoke and spinach squares are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your artichoke and spinach squares turn out perfect every time.
