"I try to avoid using "To Die For" as a description, but Houston Steak House's baked Spinach and Artichoke Dip is the best of the best! Houston's serves it hot with tortilla chips, veggies, sour cream and salsa. Recipe courtesy of Houston's Restaurant."

  1. This is a really good receipe! I doubled it for a huge party that I had. My suggestion for doubling would be to add some heavy whipping cream, maybe 1/4 cup. This will thin it out a little. It's very, very thick when doubled.
     
  2. I have looked for this recipe for ages and finally found it. It is so delicious and always brings raves when I serve it.
     
  3. I totally modified the recipe to get it closer to Houston's version:<br/>Doubled the marinated artichoke hearts and only put half in the food processor (the other half was chopped and folded into the rest of the processed ingredients) - this makes it more chunky with artichoke<br/>Used a 4-cheese packaged shredded cheese blend instead of mozzarella - almost double the amount and both folded it in and sprinkled atop<br/>Used half the amount of spinach - the recipe calls for way too much spinach - it should be mostly artichoke<br/>Used two cloves of garlic instead of one<br/>Added canned diced green chiles for a little tangy zip<br/>Omitted the eggs
     
  4. Hi Mom! I made this dip the other day and since my guests "hoovered" it in about 20 seconds, I'd say it was a huge success! My artichoke hearts weren't marinated, so I added a dollop of extra-virgin olive oil, cracked pepper and green Tabasco . Two thumbs up!
     
  5. It tastes nice but nothing like houstons. Not sure why. I think maybe the eggs gave it an omelette texture. It's not creamy.
