"JUST LIKE HOUSTON'S" SPINACH-ARTICHOKE DIP

My friend Sally Reiser shared this recipe in a Briarwood Christian School cookbook years ago, and it's still one of the most popular party food recipes in my circles! A savory low carb and Keto appetizer, I'm not sure it's the exact Houston's recipe but it tastes as good (perhaps better) to me. It can be made in one large quiche...

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pkg frozen chopped spinach
1 onion, chopped
1 jar(s) (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
2 clove garlic, minced
1 stick butter
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese
3/4 c heavy whipping cream
8 oz shredded monterey jack cheese (i use pepper jack)
4 oz shredded swiss cheese
4 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste
4 oz shredded fresh parmesan cheese ~not from the green can;)

Steps:

  • 1. Cook and drain spinach; squeezing well until all water is completely removed.
  • 2. Melt butter in large skillet; saute onion until tender.
  • 3. Add garlic to onion mixture.
  • 4. Stir spinach and artichokes into sauted onion mixture, mixing well.
  • 5. Beat cream cheese with mixer, gradually adding whipping cream, until smooth.
  • 6. In large bowl, stir all ingredients (except parmesan cheese) together until well blended.
  • 7. Put in microwave safe baking dish or oven safe baking dish.
  • 8. Refrigerate at least two hours.
  • 9. Top with parmesan and microwave until warm or bake at 350 F until bubbly (20 minutes or so).
  • 10. Serve with baked pita, tortilla chips, or corn chips. For low carb or Keto dieters, this is delicious served with crudités such as cauliflower, celery and carrot discs.
  • 11. The dip can be microwaved or baked. I prefer baking, as the edges get golden and the cheese gets a slightly crisp edge. If you microwave, I suggest cooking at 80% and in 5 minute increments.
  • 12. Make ahead: This dip is super easy to prep a day or two before a party. Simply make the dip up to the point of cooking (but do not cook). Place the mixture into an airtight container and refrigerate. Just before the party, spread the dip into one medium or several smaller dishes to heat before serving.

I made this dip ahead of time and it reheated well in the oven. It was just as good the second time around.

I used a gluten-free flour blend to make this dip and it turned out great. It is a great option for people with gluten sensitivities.

I added some chopped bacon to my dip and it was amazing. It gave it a nice smoky flavor.
