I love everything about this. Artichokes, creamed spinach, a little mozz, a little cream cheese, a little sour cream – it’s so delicious, it’s gone before you know it. And it reheats really well too. I hosted my friend Missy’s birthday party this past weekend, and threw this together before all the girls showed up for the night…at 3pm. Older, but probably not wiser. :]
SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP (serves a pack of 13 “ladies”, if you include 4 pizzas, another veggie dip, mini cupcakes, a couple cases of CLs/ALs, infinite wine and champagne and a total lack of shame on any of our parts).
– 2 8 oz. packages of creamed spinach (the creamed part is key)
– 2 cans artichoke hearts, drained really well and chopped
– a package of shredded mozzarella cheese (A whole package. Yes, I know.)
– 1/3 C. cream cheese, softened
– 1/3 C. sour cream
– 1/4 C. parmesan
– 1/4 C. mayo (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Cook creamed spinach according to package directions. Put into a bowl.
3. Add chopped artichoke hearts to the spinach and stir to combine.
4. To the spinach/artichoke mixture, add the cream cheese, sour cream, mozz, parmesan and optional mayo. Stir it all together and spread evenly in an oven-proof serving dish.
5. Bake at 350 until cooked, approx. 15-20 minutes. Remove, let cool, and serve with tortilla scoops or chips.
