Spinach and Artichoke Dip Recipe

This Spinach and Artichoke Dip recipe is too easy; it's pretty much heating and mixing everything together. The best spinach and artichoke dip.

This recipe is too easy; it’s pretty much heating and mixing everything together. I love easy. My co-worker Jason brought this in to work one night and it was so good! I asked for the recipe and wrote it out (on a random piece of paper that later took me 2 days to find) as I was wolfing down the artichoke dip. It’s funny how I crave this kind of stuff at night and I’m still losing weight (not that I’m endorsing this as a diet food; NOT AT ALL!), it’s probably the stress of starting as a new nurse and having a really messed up eating and sleep schedule. Back to this recipe. It brings some nice heat as it has jalapenos in it, but not an “I have to drink milk stat” kind of heat. I should include this warning: make it only when there are plenty of people around to share it with, otherwise you will inevitably eat way way way too much (guilty).

    Have you ever tried making this in a slow cooker to keep it hot? Reply

      Hi Lori, I’ve transferred it to a slow cooker to keep it hot. I think it could work well in a slow cooker but you will have to stir it several times while it’s heating. Reply

    May I substitute the sour cream for cream cheese?

    I love this dip, but its hard to find sour cream where I live. Reply

      Hi Roberta, I haven’t tested it that way and I’m concerned it may be too thick. You might try a combination of cream and cream cheese? Reply

    My daughter made this and I Loved it but it was too spicy for me. So I traded out the jalapenos for green chilis!!! Tastes amazing !! Best dip recipe ever ! Reply

    Will a can of green chilies work? I could not find canned jalapeños. What ratio should, any ideas? Thank you, Natasha Reply

      Hi Natalie, I think drained green chilis would work. Add them to taste as they have a different spice level from jalapeños. Reply
