Good Seasons Spinach And Artichoke Dip Recipes

BAKED SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Thaw frozen spinach then squeeze it dry with your hands.
• 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.
• Bake uncovered for 25 minutes at 350˚F or until heated through. Serve with your favorite crostini, chips, or crackers. Yum!

SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Roughly chop the artichokes.
• Squeeze excess liquid out of spinach. Either use paper towels or a clean dishtowel, or my method is to use a colander and press liquid out using a wooden spoon.
• Place cream cheese in a large heatproof bowl. Microwave in 2 x 30 second bursts or until softened. Mix until smooth.
• Add remaining ingredients. Mix until just combined (don't overmix vigorously, otherwise you'll smush the artichokes and spinach).
• Warm in microwave to your taste. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
• Best served warm but terrific served at room temperature too! Serve with your favourite crackers, vegetable sticks and chips.

HOT ARTICHOKE AND SPINACH DIP II

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a small baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, garlic, basil, garlic salt, salt and pepper. Gently stir in artichoke hearts and spinach.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven 25 minutes, until bubbly and lightly browned.

SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring until it's softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add spinach to pot one handful at a time, letting each handful completely wilt before adding the next. Add crushed red pepper, if using, and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid from the spinach has evaporated (no need to drain), about 3 minutes. Add artichokes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes, just to take the raw edge off the artichokes.
• Reduce heat to low and add cream cheese and mozzarella. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir until all the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream and pecorino, and season with more salt and pepper. You can certainly eat this dip straight from the pot (or transferred to a serving bowl), but running it under the broiler for a crispy top is also an excellent option. To do so, transfer dip to a small ovenproof skillet (6 to 8 inches). Place in oven and broil until the top is golden and the dip is bubbling, 5 to 8 minutes. Let sit a minute or two before serving.
