A lot of spinach. If you like the spinach dip of some of the major chain restraunts, you will want to use only half of the spinach. Adding water chestnuts gives it a nice crunch.

i've had a lot of trouble finding a recipe that works for me, whether due to my own ineptitude or not. however, this recipe was great and pretty easy. i did follow other's advice and subsituted low fat cream cheese for the cream. wasn't sure how much to use, so i added about half a block. turned out great! i meant to try the nutmeg, but forgot. it was delish anyway! also wound up cooking it for about another 10 minutes than called for. thanks for a great recipe! btw, is it just me or is squeezing the water out of spinach a pain in the pratt?

This is a family favorite. When served at social get-togethers the recipe is often requested. I have frozen prepared portions and later reheated in microwave.

Made this at least 6 times now. Everytime it is a huge hit! It is even great leftover and warmed in the microwave. Thanks!

This is GREAT! We've made it at least five times. I'm not much of one for measuring after the initial try, so I guesstimate, which makes it even faster! One jar of garlic marinated artichokes makes it SO good! I drain the oil and put other veggies in it in the fridge for extra mileage. My kids adore it and now love artichokes because of THIS dip! Very rich, very satisfying and very much in demand! YUM!

A favorite at all parties. My guests always love it. I put this into a bread bowl, with the top pieces torn into bits for dipping.

This recipe was perfect, I did add a bit more cheese than was called for, and it came out great. Also, it was even better the next day!

This was delicious, but had too much spinach for our tastes. Next time, we will use maybe half the spinach. It was overpowering to the point where I could barely taste the other flavors. I love spinach, so it turned out great, though, but I'd prefer to let the other tastes come through more... I followed recipe exactly except I used a blend of mozzarella, romano, provolone, and asiago instead of just mozzarella, and because I have an old blender that wouldn't blend the artichokes and cheese without liquid, I added the cream to the blender instead of mixing in afterwards. Good recipe, thank you!

WOW! Everyone loved this recipe! I've made it 3 times since Christmas! It also gave everyone a "taste" for artichokes, which was something we did not have prior to this! Some changes - I did not layer anything - mixed it all together and popped it in the oven. I did not use the heavy cream and instead added two 8oz bricks of softened cream cheese. I used a combo Romano/Parmesan already grated cheese. I used the jarred minced garlic in olive oil (and I doubled it for our family). It gets just a little crusty on the edges, but everyone inhaled those too. It is even better the next day (so it is safe to make a day ahead, if you can stand the yummy aroma!), and can be popped right back in the oven without losing anything. This is a total keeper at our house - many thanks for sharing! Wish I had some right now...

This recipe was fantastic for my superbowl party! I used some cream cheese as well, and added lump crab meat, extra garlic, white pepper, and a little hot sauce. I served it with toasted pita points brushed with butter and a little garlic salt.

This recipie was not what I had expected. It was very chuncky and not at all creamy. I also found it to be bland. I did not vary from the recipie at all.

I would have prefered that it be mixed together rather than layered. Also, it look a longer to heat through than expected and it never really got "bubbly".

This dip is soooo much better than the cream cheese and/or mayo versions. This is the only recipe I'll use in the future. Next time I will add a little more cream- it was a little dry. Could be because I added an additional cup of cheese on top and baked until that layer was browned. Yummm!

This dip is a true knockout! When I prepare this dip for a party or holiday gathering people stand around the dip chatting and eating until it is all gone. The VERY BEST variation of the recipe I have ever made!

The men at my party loved this, the women thought it was a bit bland. I would probably make it again (I also used cream cheese instead of heavy cream, very good) but would add more garlic and other spices.

I wasn't planning on adding the mozzarella, but after tasting it without, it was just missing so much flavor that I went ahead and tossed some in there. I also only used about 1/2 the box of spinach because I was afraid 10 oz. would over power (especially since I already felt like there was too many artichokes). I added some garlic powder, salt and pepper and used light mayo instead of sour cream. I think next time I will definitley use sour cream though, I think that's JUST what this recipe was missing (I just hate a recipe where you can taste the sour cream and was afraid it would happen with this). I'm bringing some in to work tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes...it's a tought crowd!
