Super Easy Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe!

An attractive way to keep the dip warm.

This week I’ve got college football on the brain. So continuing in my blogging theme, I thought I’d share with you another super easy dip recipe (perfect for eating while watching football) I got from my neighbor Dawn, back in Pennsylvania. I tried this at one of her many Premiere Designs jewelry parties and it was so good I asked for the recipe. It’s SO easy!

The key is finding a jar of Tostitos Creamy Spinach dip.  Then you get a jar of marinated artichoke hearts. You only need about four of those yummy little artichoke hearts, and you chop them up coarsely and mix them in with the spinach dip. You can add a bit of mayo if you want to make it even creamier, about a 1/4 cup. Then mix in a bit of shredded cheddar cheese, about a 1/4 cup. Put it all in a small baking dish and top it with a little more shredded cheddar. Then bake it at about 325 for maybe 15 to 20 minutes…till the top is nice and bubbly. Voila! Yummy hot spinach artichoke dip, perfect for your next football or bunco party.

Favorite Summer Recipe – Buffalo Chicken Dip

works for me wednesday at we are that familySo this is probably actually my favorite recipe… period.  Summer, winter, football season, holiday parties, etc.  Anytime there is a gathering of people, especially co-ed, I make this.  I brought it to our neighborhood Halloween block party the year we moved in and none of them had ever had it before. They all went crazy for it and I’ve continued making it for our block parties ever since. 
Ingredients:

2-3 cans (10 oz) chunk white chicken
1 bottle Frank’s RedHot Sauce (or similar buffalo style sauce)
2 packages (8 oz) cream cheese
1 bottle ranch dressing
1.5 cups shredded cheddar
Preheat oven to 350.  Spray a 9×13 baking pan (I actually use Pampered Chef stoneware).  In a bowl, mix the chicken with the hot sauce, then spread it evenly as the bottom layer of the baking dish.  Spread half the cheddar cheese over the chicken layer.  Melt the cream cheese together with the ranch dressing in a saucepan and mix it up well, then pour it evenly over the chicken and cheddar.  Spread the rest of the cheddar on top, cover with foil and bake for about 20-30 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
Serve it with Tostitos Scoops, celery sticks, pita chips, Triscuits, or anything else!  Sooooo yummy.   
*I tried using blue cheese dressing instead of the ranch.  It tasted good but was REALLY greasy, I find the ranch works much better.
