We love artichoke dips around here, like our shrimp artichoke dip, most popular one-pot spinach artichoke dip and even this skinny artichoke dip.

Major thank you and high five to Sam’s Club and Hellmann’s for sponsoring this recipe and creating a product that got baked into this creamy goodness!

Ingredients for Baked Spinach Artichoke Dip:

There are literally 5 ingredients in this baked spinach and artichoke dip and it comes together so quickly.

We used a can of UN-MARINATED artichoke hearts. The marinated ones are just a bit too salty for this recipe.

Also, chopped frozen-thawed spinach works best for this recipe and be sure to use REAL mayo.

Ingredients for Baked Spinach Artichoke Dip

How to Make Baked Spinach Artichoke Dip:

1. Thaw frozen spinach then squeeze it dry with your hands. Drain and coarsely chop artichokes.

2. Stir together: drained & chopped artichoke, squeezed spinach, 1 cup mayo, 3/4 cup parmesan cheese, 1 pressed garlic clove and transfer to a 1-quart casserole or pie dish. Sprinkle on remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese.

My 5-yr old son kept sneaking samples while I was photographing this baked spinach artichoke dip so I let him be the hand model, and he was very happy to help. I’ll have you know he was fairly compensated ($0.25) and he plans to use his earnings for a gum ball.

Here’s how the scene went; “Ok, a little lower, bring it back down to the plate. Perfect!” x 3 takes (and 3 hefty loaded samples for the little guy – I have a feeling he wasn’t in it for the quarter ;).
Before I could say another word, he shoved this loaded cracker right into my mouth and said, “for the Baby” (I was pregnant). Hang on,.. let me re-live that moment…. mmm. 🙂

    Can I use 100% grated Parmesan cheese which comes in a jar, instead of fresh Parmesan cheese? If so, what amount would I use in the Spinach Artichoke Dip recipe. Thanks, I love your cooking shows!

      Hi Sherry, I don’t think this particular recipe would work without mayo, but you might try this spinach and artichoke dip instead if you want one without mayo.

      Hi Lesya, it would taste more salty/tangy. I would suggest using a little less mayo and maybe sub some of it some sour cream.

      Hi Julie, I haven’t tried this specific version with fresh but I think it could work; you’ll want to chop it before adding it and ideally, give it a quick steam-cook on the stove until it’s soft and wilted then drain off any excess liquid.
