One of my favorite appetizers to order in a restaurant is Spinach & Artichoke Dip.  There is nothing better than spinach and hot melty cheese with tortilla chips.  Mmmmm!  Love it!!!  So, of course, I had to figure out how to make my own that was as delicious as the ones that you get in restaurants.  And I did it!  Not only do I love this Spinach & Artichoke Dip, but it’s one of those appetizers that is requested when we are doing snacks at the house.

Spinach & Artichoke Dip became popular in the 1950’s when eating in front of the television became more common.  Now, we see it on many menus of our favorite eating establishments.

What is so wonderful about Spinach & Artichoke Dip (besides how yummy it is) is that it’s all mixed in one bowl.  How simple is that!!!  You just want to make sure you have all your ingredients ready to go.  Looking for a dip that will wow your friends?  Spinach & Artichoke Dip is the way to go.

Mama Fawn’s Tips…

•  Make sure your cream cheese is softened.  This will help everything combine easily.
• Use fresh parmesan if possible.  It gives such a rich taste to the dip.  Don’t fret if you don’t, grated parmesan tastes just fine.
• I do not use marinated artichokes in this dip.
• It is so important to make sure the spinach is squeeze dried or you will have a ‘soupy’ dip.
• Don’t have mozzarella?  And melty cheese will do.  I’ve use provolone and fontina in this dip before and it was amazing.
