A-Freaking-Mazing Artichoke Dip
Author: Emily Chapelle - Joyful Abode
Recipe type: Appetizer
Cuisine: Grain-free, Gluten-free, Primal, Low Carb
This is the best artichoke dip you'll ever make. It's quick and easy, and everyone loves it.
Ingredients
- 8 oz. Cream Cheese
- A dollop of sour cream - maybe ¼ - ⅓ cup
- A dollop of mayonnaise - about ¼ cup
- About a cup of chopped spinach (either fresh, cooked, or frozen, thawed). I use one box frozen.
- 2 ~15oz cans or jars of artichoke hearts (in water, not marinated), drained and roughly chopped
- Garlic salt to taste
- Chili powder
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- A handful of shredded mozzarella cheese for the top
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Warm the cream cheese in the microwave for 2 minutes on 50% heat to soften it. Pre-microwaving the cream cheese will help you mix it with the other ingredients, so I recommend not skipping this step.
- Mix all ingredients in a baking dish.
- Be generous with the chili powder! The cream cheese and sour cream will act to "cool" the dip, so you can sprinkle away with the chili!
- Bake 30-45 minutes until heated through.
- Sprinkle on a bit more mozzarella, then broil until the cheese is browned.
Now you can get down to the business of eating and enjoying your delicious dip. Try it with:
- Zero-Carb Homemade Baked Cheese Crisps
- Carrot sticks
- Celery sticks
- Strips of raw bell peppers
- Pork rinds
- A spoon
- Homemade grain-free crackers (I’m thinking of a sesame-seed based one that I may try to make!)
- Slices of turnips, jicama, or large radishes
I also think it would be great in hollowed-out Roma tomato halves or jalapeno pepper halves, possibly wrapped with bacon. Dear goodness…. *sigh*
Make it in a beautiful enameled baking dish, and this artichoke dip will be ready for entertaining everyone’s tastebuds at your party in style.
