Hot spinach artichoke dip is by far one of my favorite appetizers, well besides these hot wings and these bacon cheddar jalapeno poppers of course!!  This recipe was given to me by a subscriber last year and it still remains one of my FAVORITES for spinach and artichoke dip!!

It’s so creamy, cheesy and has the perfect cream-to-spinach ratio, not to mention it’s so daggum flavorful. Y’all already know how I feel about flava!!

The saucy mixture isn’t your typical cream cheese and mayo combo. Instead it’s made with heavy whipping cream seasoned with chicken broth, hot sauce, a blend of various cheeses, fresh garlic and red onions, just to name a a few.

It’s a little more involved than your average spinach artichoke dip but I love the authentic taste of it and think it’s totally worth it.

I’ll be making this fabulous dip for my sister’s baby shower. We are both recipe whores so I know she is gonna be thrilled to add this one to her collection (and if you’re reading this Shon don’t you dare try to make it before I formally  introduce you to it. I wanna be the first to bring it to a family function!!!) Yeah it’s that serious in my family!

You can get all cutesy and serve this hot spinach and artichoke dip inside of a carved out bread bowl or just place in a casserole dish or crock pot. I usually just throw it into the crock pot to keep it warm. I love this topped with fresh tomatoes or salsa on the side. #yun!!!
