Equipment

Ingredients

10 ounces spinach
2 tablespoons water
15 ounces artichoke hearts drained and chopped
8 ounces cream cheese softened
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
tortilla chips and crusty bread for serving

Instructions

Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Prep the spinach. Place the spinach in a large skillet and add the water. Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes or until the spinach is wilted. Drain and then wrap the spinach in a paper towel squeezing to extract most of the liquid. Chop the spinach.
Combine the dip. In a mixing bowl combine the spinach, artichoke hearts, parmesan cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella cheese, garlic, hot sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper stirring until well combined. Pour into the skillet or baking dish.
Bake. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until bubbly.
Serve. Serve hot with tortilla chips and crusty bread.

Notes

Let your cream cheese, sour cream, and cheeses come to room temperature before you make this dip. Just set them on the counter for about 30 minutes before you begin to make the dip. This will help the dip come together so much easier.

Remove as much water as you can from your spinach and artichokes. Excess water will make your dip watery instead of creamy.
