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.

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

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.

ALMOST-FAMOUS SPINACH-ARTICHOKE DIP



Almost-Famous Spinach-Artichoke Dip image

Houston's hugely popular spinach-and-artichoke appetizer wasn't always such a crowd pleaser. It started as a lowly side dish in the mid '80s, after Houston's first opened in Nashville, and it came dangerously close to disappearing from the menu altogether until chefs at the restaurant's Chicago outpost noticed customers ordering it with chips and eating it like a dip. The chefs tweaked founder George Biel's recipe and gave it a snappy name, Chicago- Style Spinach Dip, and it became an instant hit. Some fans, like Isabel Mondejo from Orlando, FL, can't get enough of it and wrote to us asking for the recipe. The company wouldn't divulge its secrets, so the chefs in Food Network Kitchens created this perfect imitation.

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt
2 10-ounce bags spinach, stems removed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup sour cream, plus more for serving
1/2 cup shredded white sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup frozen artichoke hearts, thawed, squeezed dry and roughly chopped
Tortilla chips and salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Stir in the spinach and cook until bright green, about 30 seconds. Drain and rinse under cold water; squeeze out the excess moisture, then finely chop.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the onion is soft, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Parmesan and sour cream.
  • Return the pot to medium heat. Add the spinach, cheddar and artichokes and stir until the cheese melts and the dip is heated through. Serve warm with tortilla chips, salsa and sour cream.

"JUST LIKE HOUSTON'S" SPINACH-ARTICHOKE DIP



My friend Sally Reiser shared this recipe in a Briarwood Christian School cookbook years ago, and it's still one of the most popular party food recipes in my circles! A savory low carb and Keto appetizer, I'm not sure it's the exact Houston's recipe but it tastes as good (perhaps better) to me. It can be made in one large quiche...

Provided by Jamie Tarence

Categories     Vegetable Appetizers

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pkg frozen chopped spinach
1 onion, chopped
1 jar(s) (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
2 clove garlic, minced
1 stick butter
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese
3/4 c heavy whipping cream
8 oz shredded monterey jack cheese (i use pepper jack)
4 oz shredded swiss cheese
4 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste
4 oz shredded fresh parmesan cheese ~not from the green can;)

Steps:

  • 1. Cook and drain spinach; squeezing well until all water is completely removed.
  • 2. Melt butter in large skillet; saute onion until tender.
  • 3. Add garlic to onion mixture.
  • 4. Stir spinach and artichokes into sauted onion mixture, mixing well.
  • 5. Beat cream cheese with mixer, gradually adding whipping cream, until smooth.
  • 6. In large bowl, stir all ingredients (except parmesan cheese) together until well blended.
  • 7. Put in microwave safe baking dish or oven safe baking dish.
  • 8. Refrigerate at least two hours.
  • 9. Top with parmesan and microwave until warm or bake at 350 F until bubbly (20 minutes or so).
  • 10. Serve with baked pita, tortilla chips, or corn chips. For low carb or Keto dieters, this is delicious served with crudités such as cauliflower, celery and carrot discs.
  • 11. The dip can be microwaved or baked. I prefer baking, as the edges get golden and the cheese gets a slightly crisp edge. If you microwave, I suggest cooking at 80% and in 5 minute increments.
  • 12. Make ahead: This dip is super easy to prep a day or two before a party. Simply make the dip up to the point of cooking (but do not cook). Place the mixture into an airtight container and refrigerate. Just before the party, spread the dip into one medium or several smaller dishes to heat before serving.
