Spinach and Artichoke Dip
From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
1 (10 ounce) package of frozen chopped spinach,
thawed and squeezed dry
1 (8 ounce) block of Philadelphia cream cheese,
softened to room temperature
3/4 cup of regular Kraft real mayonnaise
1-1/2 cups of shredded Monterey Jack cheese
(about 6 ounces) - reserve 1/2 cup
1 package of Knorr vegetable recipe mix
1 (14 ounce) can of artichoke hearts,
drained and chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped fine
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients except set aside the 1/2 cup of cheese. Spoon mixture into a 2 quart casserole, top with the 1/2 cup of cheese.
Bake 35 minutes until hot. Serve warm with corn chips, tortilla chips, or crackers. Can also place into a chafing or warming dish and wait to top with the extra 1/2 cup of shredded cheese then.
Applebees Copycat Variation: Beth, one of our Facebook readers provided this variation on spinach artichoke dip. Substitute 1 cup of Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup of Mozzarella cheese for the Monterey Jack cheese, eliminate the mayonnaise, reduce the cream cheese to 4 ounces and add in a 10 ounce jar of Alfredo sauce.
Serving Suggestion: Martha, another one of our Facebook readers suggested this Fried Bowtie Pasta as a dipper and I thought it was an excellent idea! Cook pasta, drain and pat dry, then toss with flour that has been seasoned with Cajun or Creole seasoning and deep fry. Drain and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese while still hot. Leftovers can be stored and stay crispy.

ReplyDeleteMoma Mary....couldn't this be lowcarb???
ReplyDeleteA delicious variation is to use the Knorr brand of dry Leek mix (I think it is a soup mix). I am a spinach dip HOUND, I just love the stuff. For some reason, the leek mix provides a little something different. I recommend trying it out. :)
ReplyDeleteSure will Ali - thanks!
ReplyDeleteShala is that you up there from December?? Sorry I missed that post - but yeah, use this dip with veggies instead of chips or crackers and totally low carb.
