This is my favorite spinach artichoke dip I've had! It was simple to put together and full of flavor and I loved the texture. Very popular among my guests. Thanks for sharing!

I was really looking forward to trying this dip and I am sorry but I just did not like it! I think it was the mozzarella cheese in it that gave it a weird texture and taste. (And I love cheese.) I will stick with the spinach dip recipes that only use cream cheese. I guess that is just my preference.

I consider myself a connoisseur of spinach artichoke dips...this one is TOP NOTCH! Fixed up some carrot and celery sticks in addition to the tortilla chips served on the side. It was a family fight for the dip. I went ahead and used a 10 oz. box of spinach. Spices were perfect. Bleu's pic makes me want it all over again. Loud applause and standing ovation to you, Bek!

I halved this recipe and that was a really bad idea.... This is the best spinach artichoke dip BY FAR! WOW! The only thing I did different was to replace the mozerella with queso cheese and add some salt and black pepper. I also used one-half 10 oz. box of frozen spinach and cooked the dip in the microwave for about 6 minutes, stirring after every two minutes. This dip has a superb flavor above all the others, bar and grill restaurants included! Bek, You've done a fantastic job creating this fabulous dip! A big 'Ricky Bobby' WOOOOOOO!!!!! to you. :)
