Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (10 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 1/4 cups parmesan cheese, shredded
1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
1/3 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
1/2 cup sour cream, I prefer Knudsen
1/2 cup mayonnaise, I prefer Best Foods
6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup milk, I use 1% since that's what I have on hand
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 garlic cloves, minced fine
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, to taste (I prefer 1 1/2 tsp)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 -3 dashes cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • *Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • *Thaw and drain spinach. I find it easiest to do this by putting thawed spinach in a clean dish towel and wringing out the excess liquid.
  • *Add spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, parmesan cheese and 1 cup monterey jack cheese to a large bowl and combine till well mixed.
  • *In a separate bowl mix sour cream, mayonnaise, cream cheese, milk, cream, garlic, pepper flakes, salt and pepper till well combined.
  • *Add wet ingredients to spinach and cheese mixture and mix well. Taste for salt -- add a little more if needed.
  • *Pour into a greased (butter or Pam) casserole dish and top with remaining 1/3 cup monterey jack cheese.
  • *Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly.
  • *Serve with tortilla chips or baguette slices.
  • *Enjoy!

This dip was a disaster! It turned out watery and bland. I won't be making it again.

The dip was a little bland for my taste. I added some garlic and cayenne pepper to spice it up.

I'm not a fan of spinach, but I loved this dip. The artichokes and cheese really balanced out the flavor.

I didn't have any artichokes on hand, so I used hearts of palm instead. It turned out great!

The dip was a little too cheesy for my taste, but otherwise it was very good.

I've made this dip several times now and it always turns out perfect. The perfect balance of spinach, artichoke, and cheese.
