Fabulous!! We used Parm. cheese instead and one whole brick of cream cheese. Be sure to DRAIN THE SPINACH and rinse the artichokes after removing from can!!

This is the BEST of The BEST. I added a little mozzarella cheese and replaced the Romano for Parmasan. This is a total keeper..

LOVE IT!! I've made this dip a few times now. My neighbor requests it when we have functions and he asked his wife to get the recipe for snack time at their house. It's always the first appetizer to go. Thanks!

Excellent party food! I doubled everything (to use up all the spinach) except for the artichoke hearts (only had 2- 6oz. jars)and cream cheese (I used the whole 8 oz. block), and used grated Parmesean (from a bag, not the can). I also threw in about 1/2 c. grated Monterrey Jack cheese. I had to bake it longer--around 40 min. I also used a stoneware baking dish.

Definitely a crowd pleaser. Several people requested the recipe. Not the healthiest treat in the world, but great for gatherings. This one is a keeper.

This recipie is wonderful! I made this for an appitizer last Thanksgiving and everyone wants me to make this again for the hollidays. The only thing I do differently is I add parmesean cheese instead of the Romano simply because I usually have parmesean on hand. This is so awesome with tostitos!

This is just like my favorite at a local restaurant that recently closed. I'd been searching for one with cream cheese in it like theirs. This is so close! The only thing I thought this was missing was a bit of salt. I'm not a fan of salt either...but when I tasted it..it just seemed a little bland so a pinch of salt helped. I also topped it with fresh grated parmesan cheese and let it melt and stirred it in and served with sliced sourdough baguettes. YUM! I'll make this often.

This recipe was excellent! But I do agree it was a little bland. Next time I make it (which will be soon!) I'll increase the cream cheese, add some garlic and fresh ground pepper. And to get my kids to eat it, I'll put the artichoke hearts in the blender to get a finer texture. This one is aces!

This was a hit! Here are my changes... I kept the same amount of spinach and artichokes, but doubled everything else. It made a lot more dip and was creamy like we like it. I think next time I will back down on the mayo as that was one of the main things I tasted during my first bite. Otherwise- it was GREAT!! (Even better the next day.)

This is a great recipe. I followed it exactly, but I probably used more garlic than 1/4 tsp. I used 2 small cloves. Next time I will add more cheese (maybe 1/2 cup of Romano plus something else... maybe jack.) I made this for 7 people watching football and it was gone in 15 minutes!

I took this to a potluck and it disappeared. The dish was actually scraped clean. I used parmesean instead of romano. I also added a little monterey jack (1/2 cup) into the mix. I used crushed crotons as topping. It was delicious!

This is a good recipe to start with, but I decided to "tinker" just a bit. I used 2 6oz jars of marinated artichoke hearts as I could not find a 14 oz can. I omitted the cream cheese and used equal parts mayo and sour cream as suggested by another reviewer. For the cheese, I had on hand a bag of Kraft 4 Cheese Italiano blend. I used 2 french onion soup bowls to bake it (and still have enough left over for a third bowl). In one, I baked it as is. In the other, I stirred in some crab meat and topped it with Pepper Jack Cheese. Both went over very well at home. I will be making this again for sure!!

Bizarrely, this turned out very liquidy for me, despite other reviews to the contrary. It may have been my fault, though, for using a little extra spinach and ricotta instead of cream cheese.

I made this two nights ago and it was AWESOME!!! I did tweak it a bit: I used 1 cup sour cream, 1 whole package cream cheese, 1/2 cup Romano cheese and 1 full tsp. garlic. It was very creamy this way, just the way I like it. My bro and his GF gobbled it up. They said it was just like eating it at a restaurant.
