ALMOST-FAMOUS SPINACH-ARTICHOKE DIP
Houston's hugely popular spinach-and-artichoke appetizer wasn't always such a crowd pleaser. It started as a lowly side dish in the mid '80s, after Houston's first opened in Nashville, and it came dangerously close to disappearing from the menu altogether until chefs at the restaurant's Chicago outpost noticed customers ordering it with chips and eating it like a dip. The chefs tweaked founder George Biel's recipe and gave it a snappy name, Chicago- Style Spinach Dip, and it became an instant hit. Some fans, like Isabel Mondejo from Orlando, FL, can't get enough of it and wrote to us asking for the recipe. The company wouldn't divulge its secrets, so the chefs in Food Network Kitchens created this perfect imitation.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Stir in the spinach and cook until bright green, about 30 seconds. Drain and rinse under cold water; squeeze out the excess moisture, then finely chop.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the onion is soft, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Parmesan and sour cream.
- Return the pot to medium heat. Add the spinach, cheddar and artichokes and stir until the cheese melts and the dip is heated through. Serve warm with tortilla chips, salsa and sour cream.
THE BEST SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP
This is our best version of the classic party dip. It's savory and creamy with a slight tang from sour cream and Parmesan -- so hard to resist. We like to use frozen whole leaf spinach and chop it ourselves for more control over the finished texture of the dish.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Put the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and garlic in a large bowl. Mix vigorously until combined and smooth. (If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
- Bake until the dip begins to bubble, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and continue to cook, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn, until the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with crackers, chips or toasted bread.

This recipe has been kicking around my kitchen on a Post-It for years, so I thought I'd put it up on 'Zaar and let other people enjoy! Not good for the diet, but absolutely DELICIOUS. The key is the alfredo sauce, which I haven't seen in other spinach artichoke dips - it makes all the difference!

AWESOME ARTICHOKE DIP
My friend made this at a party and I just had to have her recipe. This is the best artichoke dip that I have ever tasted. You might want to double the recipe because this stuff will go very quickly! I've made this several times now and the key is to rinse the spinach well before putting it in the recipe. Otherwise you will have green dip! Other cheeses, and cheese blends work fine in place of the parmesan. However, I feel the parmesan gives the best flavor combination. Fresh lemon juice really makes this recipe different from other spinach artichoke dips and adds a much needed zing to the recipe. Its also best to use the freshest garlic you can get your hands on.

Tips for Making the Best Spinach Artichoke Dip
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dip.
- Don't overcook the spinach. It should be wilted, but still have a bit of a crunch.
- Use a good quality artichoke hearts. Canned or jarred artichoke hearts are fine, but fresh or frozen artichoke hearts are even better.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. A combination of Parmesan, mozzarella, and cream cheese is a classic, but you can also try using other types of cheese, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or fontina.
- Serve the dip with your favorite dippers. Tortilla chips, pita chips, and crackers are all good options.
