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.
HOT ARTICHOKE AND SPINACH DIP II
This dip is amazing -- so cheesy and fragrant. If you don't like artichokes, don't worry -- you'll never know they're in there! My only question is: Is it okay to just eat it with a spoon right out of the dish?

ALMOST-FAMOUS SPINACH-ARTICHOKE DIP
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.

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.
DUMP SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP FROM FROZEN
This is the easiest spinach artichoke dip you'll ever make! Everything goes into a baking dish and straight into the oven all at once-even the frozen spinach and artichokes. We like to finish the dish with a sprinkle of panko and a quick run under the broiler for a crispy top. But you can skip it if you're short on time. Serve this with sturdy chips or baguette slices for dipping.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Drizzle the olive oil on the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish. Scatter the artichokes over the oil, set the cream cheese in the center and top with the spinach. Sprinkle with the Havarti and mozzarella and top with the heavy cream, mayonnaise and garlic. Sprinkle with the Parmesan. Bake until browned and bubbling, 33 to 36 minutes.
- Preheat the broiler. Use a pair of kitchen scissors to cut the artichokes and spinach into small pieces. Stir the dip with the scissors until creamy and smooth. Sprinkle with the panko and broil until crispy, about 1 minute. Serve hot.
SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP
This is a family favorite. It is great to serve with crusty bread, tortilla chips, and vegetables. You can substitute vegetable stock for chicken broth, or to eliminate wine add an extra 1/2 cup of stock. Keep warm in a small slow cooker or fondue pot.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil and butter together in a saucepan. Cook and stir garlic, onion, and red bell pepper in hot oil mixture until onion is lightly transparent, about 5 minutes; season with Italian seasoning and continue cooking and stirring another 2 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the onion mixture; stir to incorporate. Whisk white wine into the onion mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Pour chicken stock into the saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir half-and-half into the mixture, cook until it just begins to bubble and stir spinach, artichokes, and mozzarella cheese into the mixture; cook and stir until the cheese has fully melted, about 5 minutes.

Tips:
- Select High-Quality Spinach: Opt for fresh, vibrant spinach with crisp leaves. Avoid wilted or discolored spinach. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess moisture before using.
- Use Fresh Artichoke Hearts: Fresh artichoke hearts offer the best flavor and texture. Canned artichoke hearts are a convenient option but may have a softer texture.
- Choose a Creamy Cheese Blend: A combination of cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise creates a rich and creamy base for the dip. Adjust the proportions to achieve your desired consistency.
- Add Flavorful Seasonings: Enhance the flavor of the dip with a blend of spices and herbs. Garlic, onion, paprika, and cayenne pepper are classic choices.
- Don't Overcook the Spinach: Wilted spinach will result in a mushy dip. Sauté the spinach briefly until it is just wilted.
- Chill Before Serving: Allow the dip to chill for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. This helps the flavors meld and allows the dip to firm up.
- Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, top the dip with additional grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil for an appealing presentation.
