Spinach Artichoke Dip

Spinach Artichoke Dip is a classic appetizer or snack that is forever iconic and popular. It’s creamy, tangy and has a ridiculous amount of calories but is still considered healthy because duh, it’s made with spinach. Ha! Applebee’s, Chili’s and every other larger “American” chain restaurant has this appetizer on their menu and is most likely the most popular because everyone loves it.

The main ingredients for this recipe are fresh baby spinach, canned artichoke hearts in water, lots of garlic and two different cheeses. I melt cream cheese in for a thicker, creamy texture, melt parmesan cheese in for its salty bite and finish the recipe off with a little sour cream for some tang because that’s how I like it. I cook everything on the stove in a large skillet and them transfer to a smaller, oven safe serving dish and top with more cheese to broil. Serve the dip warm with whatever you have on hand and watch it disappear.

If you’re wanting a more runny spinach artichoke dip, feel free to add in some heavy cream to get it to the consistency you like. I like mine thicker, so I made it thicker (and with extra garlic, thankyouverymuch). But like every recipe I post, feel free to tweak as you like!

A few photos are below with the printable recipe at the bottom. Be sure to pin, share, save, print and/or bookmark! It’s a good one 🙂 Have a great day, friends.

    Can this be made the night before? I was going to do everything tonight then refrigerate, and add the parm and broil tomorrow before serving. (I know it’s late notice to ask but I thought I’d give it a shot hahah)

    I’ve made this several times since I first saw it. Always make a double batch and freeze the second one so I can pull it out to share with friends during our craft nights. And sometimes just for me!
