This dip is warm, savory and absolutely a hit at Christmas and New Years parties. Served with chips or your favorite crackers it is just amazing. It’s perfect for the holidays when you want a yummy warm appetizer. Here’s how to make our DELICIOUS artichoke spinach dip:
Whenever friends and family came north to visit, we took them to Earl’s for a night out. Each and every time we went to Earls, we ordered their famous Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip, served with
warm corn chips. Stop right there! Yes, E.V.E.R.Y. time! It was divine! Everyone loved it! It was bubbly and slightly charred on top… a cheesy wonder, full of delish chunks of artichoke and pieces of bright green spinach. There was layer, on top of layer, of savory garlic with a hint of spice, and Parmesan. The texture was creamy-smooth and cheesy, NOT pasty like some hot artichoke dips I’ve had.
It’s a FAV! Enjoy!
