Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip

This Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip is a perennial favorite! Perfect party appetizer or game day treat.

Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip

It was way back in the early 80’s when I had my first taste of a hot artichoke dip. Our hostess wouldn’t reveal the ingredients, but had us sample her creation and try to guess mystery recipe. Fast forward a few decades and there are many versions of this appetizer including this Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip. It still contains the key components of that original dip: artichokes, Parmesan cheese and mayonnaise.

Welcome to Day #1 of Appetizer Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Kristen from Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker. With the big football game coming up, we wanted to make sure you had plenty of ideas for your game day spread. Each day we will be dishing up a different set of appetizers. We hope you enjoy this fabulous group of recipes.

Perfect Pary Fare

I took this to a holiday gathering, and the biggest fan was Mr. Skinny Chick. He hovered over the dish and wouldn’t let me toss any dregs that remained in the dish. He was thrilled to have his own little appy for the next few nights before dinner. Sometimes he’s SO easy to please. My version is amped up with red pepper flakes, garlic powder and some shredded Mozzarella for a little gooey cheese action. I found it a little salty, so have adjusted the salt amount. Be sure to taste your dip before baking and add more salt to taste if needed. It will depend on your palate and the sodium in your artichoke hearts and other ingredients. This is perfect fare for any gathering, especially when you’re parked in front of the TV watching your favorite team on Super Bowl Sunday!
