This Spinach Artichoke Dip is a rich, creamy baked dip made with fresh spinach, tender artichoke hearts, Alfredo sauce, cream cheese, and a blend of melted cheeses.
Place the spinach in a skillet or large pot with a small amount of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Drain any excess water, then chop the spinach.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, chopped artichokes, Alfredo sauce, softened cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully combined.
Fold in the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, reserving a small amount of each for topping.
Pour the mixture into a baking dish and sprinkle the reserved cheese on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese on top is golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with bread, crackers, or veggies.
Drain the spinach well: Excess moisture can make the dip watery, so squeeze out as much liquid as possible after cooking.
Soften the cream cheese: Let it come to room temperature so it mixes smoothly without lumps.
Chop artichokes evenly: Smaller, uniform pieces help the dip bake evenly and make it easier to scoop.
Don’t over bake: Bake just until hot and bubbly so the dip stays creamy and doesn’t dry out.
Serving Suggestions: Serve warm with toasted bread, crackers, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetables, or pair it with Bacon Wrapped Dates or Crab Stuffed Mushrooms for a full appetizer spread.
