This spinach artichoke dip is my favorite Pioneer Woman recipe. It hits all of my buttons and in true PW fashion, the cheese is over the top! I love that she thinks the same way I do about cheese, if a little is good, a lot is better.
PW’s Spinach Artichoke Dip
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 stick butter
- 4 T minced garlic
- 12 oz bag of baby spinach
- 2 14 1/2 oz cans of artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 3 T flour
- 1 1/2 C whole milk, plus a little more for thinning (the original recipe called for chicken broth, but I used milk instead)
- 1 8 oz package of cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 C crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 C grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 C shredded pepper jack cheese (the original recipe called for 1 C, but I put 1 C in the dip and 1 C on top)
- 1/4 t Kosher salt
- 1/2 t black pepper
- 1/4 t cayenne
Instructions
- Melt 3 T butter in large skillet over medium heat and add garlic, cook for 1 minute
- Add spinach, cook until it wilts, then move to a bowl
- Put the artichokes in the skillet and cook for a few minutes, then remove and set aside
- Add the rest of the butter to the skillet
- After it melts, sprinkle in the flour, salt, pepper and cayenne, cooking and stirring for a few minutes until it forms a paste
- Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly until it’s smooth
- Add cream cheese, feta, Parmesan and half of the pepper jack
- Stir until it all melts
- Add spinach and artichokes and place in a casserole dish
- Top with the remaining pepper jack
- Bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes until the dip is hot and cheese has melted
Serve with crackers or my favorite, a loaf of bread pulled into pieces.
I need to go out and get some artichoke hearts – QUICK!
Yum!

I saw a cooking show where they took that dip and made toasted sandwiches out of it. It looked delicious.
There is nothing better than cheese, especially if you double the amount. Looks so yummy.
I usually shy away from this dip because normally the cheese used is so darned greasy. Love this version with the cream cheese. Thanks for sharing and GO BRONCOS.
Oh my goodness, that looks good!
super yum! I’m going to make this!
