Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe:

10 oz. chopped frozen spinach, thawed and drained
2 cups sour cream
8 oz. ounces cream cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
398mL (14 oz.) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
salt, pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. chili pepper flakes (optional)

I like to stir in chopped purple onions to this spinach artichoke dip on the day of serving to add some crunch and colour.

 

Thaw and drain frozen spinach. In a bowl, combine all ingredients together. Place in large resealable freezer bags. Remove excess air, lay flat and freeze.

This recipe makes 2 large resealable freezer bags depending on how much you want in each. You can also double the recipe and put into 4 bags.

 

On the day you want to serve the spinach dip, take a bag out of the freezer and thaw it. Spoon into an oven safe dish and bake in 350° oven for 40 minutes or you can put it in a crock pot on low for 2 hours.

 

When I make this, I use my mini crockpot called the Little Dipper. That way, it stays warm all evening.

Serve warm with crackers, pita wedges or tortilla chips. Try now our new recipe spinach and artichoke crescent rolls are the perfect appetizer for your next party.
