Spicy Spinach Artichoke Dip

Submitted by Julieca

"I got this recipe out of a flyer for Tabasco sauce years ago. Every time I make it, it's a huge hit. Ordering this at restaurants now is a major disappointment. I always add more cheese and Tabasco sauce and leave out the salt, but it's a personal choice."

I had this recipe for years and went to find it today but it was lost! I was really bummed and thought oh well, I guess I will just start using a new recipe. Well, I am extremely excited that you posted this recipe! This really is the BEST dip ever! It really doesn't compare to anything I have ever had! THANK YOU!

Thanks so much for posting this recipe!!! It is one of my favorites, which I had gotten when we were living in New Orleans, but recently realized that I lost it. I'm so happy to see it here. I love the creamy cheesiness and the mild kick. You can also substitute pepper jack cheese instead of using Tabasco and regular jack cheese.

Wow! This was soooo good! Thank you for sharing this recipe. My family and I loved this dip. It was creamy and delicious! The only changes that I made was that I substitued muenster cheese for the monterey jack because that's what I had on hand. Also, I used Sriracha hot sauce instead Tobasco sauce. I used light sour cream and I think that next time that I make this (and there will definitely be a next time) I will try using light cream cheese and I'll cut the butter down to 1/4 cup so that when I eat most of it, I won't have to feel as guilty about it ;-).
