Absolutely Wonderful Cheesy Creamy Spinach Artichoke Dip
"I actually won a local contest with this recipe. Our favorite restaurant who served the best dip closed down...and we could not find another that was even close, so I came up with this home-made replica, which is just as delicious!"

This if so tasty and versatile. And of course you know me I too added large garlic cloves...small won't do. I think anytime spinach and garlic are put together your mouth just says m-m-m and cheese to boot oh my... glitter -
You could almost halve the spinach and it would be enough, then it would be a bit more creamy. SUPER flavor! I took 2 artichoke spinach dips and this one was preferred. Does not reheat well. -
Awesome! We loved it. I doubled it. -
Delicious, I left out the artichokes and used a lil extra cream to make it more "dip-y" and everyone raved about it. Definitely a keeper!

We actually wound up eating this as our vegetable dish (sans toast), as my other veggie option didn't work out. Good, but didn't wow us.

Add some tobasco sauce, and a can of water chestnuts rough chopped. And add 6 0z cream cheese or labna -
Tried this today. Had a great taste, but wasn't as thick as I hoped. Also, I boiled down spinach instead of using the frozen block, then used my hand blender to chop it up a little. Will try using cream cheese instead of heavy cream next time and see how it goes.

Thanks, Amie. This was so Tasty! I substituted yogurt cheese for the sour cream, and added a dab of prepared horseradish, but those were the only changes I made. It did come out as more of a "spread" rather than a "dip". We spread it on Trader Joe's Sesame Thins. Three of us finished off the whole thing in about ten minutes!
