A creamy, chunky dip full of flavor and texture! Great for Halloween or for an easy pot luck item (just don't call it Mossy Swamp Dip at your pot luck unless it's a Halloween pot luck or you enjoy freaking out your friends).

Time 55m

Yield 6 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (16 ounce) package frozen spinach, chopped
1 (14 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts
6 green onions (one small bunch)
1 (2 ounce) can water chestnuts
1 cup parmesan cheese, coarsely shredded
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
3/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup mayonnaise
5 -6 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon red pepper sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Thaw spinach and squeeze to get as dry as possible.
  • Drain jar of marinated artichoke hearts and chop coarsely. Discard marinade.
  • Thinly slice the green onions until you've cut up about 1/3 the green tops. Coarsely chop the remaining tops.
  • Chop water chestnuts coarsely.
  • Combine spinach, artichoke hearts, green onions, and water chestnuts in a large bowl until well mixed.
  • Combine sour cream (use the real thing - lite sour cream doesn't do well in this recipe) and mayonnaise with garlic, pepper, and salt.
  • Add cheeses, then blend this mixture together with the spinach mixture. Resulting dip will be very chunky.
  • Pour into lightly greased baking dish and bake for 30-45 minutes until heated through and slightly bubbly (if you're in a hurry, just nuke it for about 10 minutes -- it won't get crusty on top, but it will be hot and melty!).
  • Sprinkle with red pepper sauce, paprika, and more cracked black peppers.
  • Serve with hearty chips, large croutons, or over pasta!
