Hey everyone. Sam here from Sugar Spun Run and today I'm showing you how to make an easy amazing spinach artichoke dip.
Hands down this is the best spinach artichoke dip I have ever tasted. I worked really hard to tweak this recipe,
and make it just perfect. Perfectly creamy, and cheesy, and so good. I really
think you're going to love it. Now to get started, this recipe, it's only gonna take
a couple minutes. First thing you're going to want to do is pre-heat your
oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Next you are going to need an 8 ounce brick of cream cheese.
Now ideally you want this to be softened to room temperature. If
you forgot to set it out for about an hour you can just put it in a microwave
safe bowl, cut it up into pieces, and heat it in 15 second increments until it's
easy to stir with the spoon. I'm just gonna add mine to a large mixing bowl.
Now you're going to want to add 3/4 cup of sour cream.
And just 1/4 cup of mayonnaise.
Add a teaspoon of finely minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/8 teaspoon of ground black pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt.
Now you'll just want to stir everything together until it's nicely combined.
Now if you want a little bit of heat you could also add 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of
crushed red pepper to this as well. Now let's add our cheeses. You are going to
need a 1 cup of shredded mozzarella. You'll need a total of 3/4 cup of
Parmesan cheese for this recipe, but only 1/2 cup is going in with our other
ingredients right now. The other fourth we're going to sprinkle on top.
We're also adding 1/2 cup of sharp shredded white cheddar. we'll just go ahead and stir everything together again
The last thing we need is our spinach and our
artichokes. We're gonna start with the artichokes. You're going to need a
14-ounce can of quartered artichokes. I do not like using the marinated ones.
These have just been packed with water and I think a little bit of salt. I buy
them quartered. I drain them really well. I rinse them, and drain them again, and
then I'm just gonna coarsely chop them. so there are nice bite-sized pieces for our spinach artichoke dip.
We'll add the artichokes into our bowl.
Finally you are going to need a 9 or 10 ounce bag of frozen chopped spinach. Now
this is usually sold in like a brick in the frozen section. I found the easiest
way to thaw this out is just to put it in a fine mesh strainer. Run some
luke warm water over it while I'm breaking it apart, and then just squeeze
out that excess water. So then you have some dried spinach that's thawed and
we're gonna add this into our bowl as well. Alright let's stir everything together.
Get all of these ingredients nicely combined.
Now all that's left to do is bake our spinach artichoke dip. Now personally I like to bake mine in a
9-inch pie plate. I just think it bakes really well in here. It's a nice size if
you're going to be sharing this with a lot of people or bringing it to a party.
You will want to generously butter the bottom and sides of your serving dish before adding your dip.
We'll just smooth this out with our spatula.
And remember that 1/4 cup of shredded Parmesan that we reserved from earlier?
We're just gonna sprinkle that evenly over the top of our dip.
Alright let's head over to our oven where the spinach artichoke dip is going to need to bake
for about 20 to 25 minutes or until it's heated through.
Now obviously you want to let your spinach artichoke dip cool for a few
minutes before digging in, but this dip is definitely best served warm. You can
dip whatever you'd like in it. Pita chips are a great choice, but my personal favorite is a tortilla chips
