This was quite easily the best spinach artichoke dip I've ever had. It didn't taste mayonnaisey at all because there was no mayo! Intsead you make a creamy white sauce as the base and then add the usual stuff to it. Yum! I think I halved it for the size of the crowd we were having and put it in an 8x8 and it was just right.
The Best Spinach Artichoke Dip
*Makes a 9X13-inch dish of dip
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces cream cheese, light or regular, softened
16 ounces frozen, chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
2 (15-ounce) cans artichoke hearts, drained
1 teaspoon hot sauce (like Tapatio brand) - I might have left this out
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9X13-inch or similar sized baking dish.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the cream, flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Microwave the mixture in 1-minute intervals, whisking fully after each minute, until the mixture is thickened, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the remaining ingredients until well combined. Spread the dip into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbling and golden on top. Serve warm with bread or tortilla chips.
