HOW TO MAKE HOT SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, add the artichoke heats, spinach, cream cheese, half of the mozzarella, sour cream, mayonnaise, parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Mix well until combined, I like to use an electric hand mixer.
Add the dip to the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, until bubbly.
If desired, turn the broiler on high and broil for a couple of minutes until the cheese browns. Keep an eye on it, so it doesn’t burn.
Serve immediately with your favorite dippers.

CAN I USE ANOTHER CHEESE?

While the mixture of parmesan and mozzarella is what we really like best, you can absolutely play around with your cheese options if you’d like.

Some other cheeses that would be good in this recipe include: Fontina, Monterey Jack, Gouda, Swiss, or even Gruyere.

WHAT IS BEST TO DIP IN THIS?

Tortilla chips are always a top favorite when it comes to this Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip, but there are so many other things that you can use.

Vegetables
Crackers
Crostini
Potato chips
Pretzels

DO I HAVE TO USE FROZEN SPINACH?

For this particular recipe yes, frozen spinach is recommended. We have not tested it with fresh spinach, so we do not recommend using it.

When you do use the frozen spinach, make sure that you get out as much water as you can. This will help ensure that the dip is not watery.

HOW TO STORE:

This dip can be stored in the refrigerator in the pan covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container where it will keep for up to 5 days.

This can also be frozen, placed in a freezer container and it will keep for up to 3 months.

To defrost, remove to the refrigerator overnight until thawed. You can reheat this in the microwave until warmed through.

TIPS AND TRICKS:

You can easily double this recipe, just make sure to use a larger dish.
Frozen spinach is all that we have tested this with.
Use any of your favorite dippers, see above for ideas.
If you want to give this a little spicy kick, add some hot sauce or even some cayenne pepper.
This can be frozen, see above on how to do that.
The cheese can be switched up, see above on some ideas that we love.

Looking for that dip that goes a long way? One that is super easy, flavorful, and uses minimal ingredients? Well, this Hot Spinach Artichoke checks all those boxes and more.
