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.
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.
ARTICHOKE & SPINACH DIP RESTAURANT STYLE

HOUSTON'S® SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:
- 1. Mix together the spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, and onion in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, then cut a small slit in the center of the wrap so that the steam can sneak out. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Keep spinach covered while you prepare the cream sauce. 2. Combine cream, sour cream, jack cheese, grated Parmegiano Reggiano cheese, and garlic salt in a medium saucepan over medium/low heat. Heat this up slowly for about 10 minutes or until the sauce reaches a simmer and thickens. Just don't let the mixture boil. 3. Add the spinach mixture to the sauce and continue to heat over medium/low. Cook for about 10 more minutes or until mixture reaches a thick dip-like consistency. Pour into a bowl and serve with tortilla chips for dipping (or crackers, bread, whatever you want).
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh spinach and artichokes will give your dip the best flavor. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in spinach artichoke dip, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese will give the dip a lot of flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make spinach artichoke dip. You can add different herbs, spices, or vegetables to suit your taste. For example, you could add some diced red peppers, jalapenos, or sun-dried tomatoes.
- Serve the dip warm: Spinach artichoke dip is best served warm. You can either serve it immediately after making it or you can reheat it in the oven or microwave.
Conclusion:
Spinach artichoke dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you serve it with chips, crackers, or vegetables, spinach artichoke dip is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give this recipe a try.
