Houston's® Spinach Artichoke Dip

By LimericksLady

Ingredients

• 1 12-ounce box frozen chopped spinach, thawed
• 1/2 cup chopped canned artichoke hearts (not marinated)
• 1 tablespoon chopped white onion
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 1/4 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese
• 1/3 cup grated Parmegiano Reggiano cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• tortilla chips, on the side

Preparation

Step 1

1. Mix together the spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, and onion in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, then cut a small slit in the center of the wrap so that the steam can sneak out. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Keep spinach covered while you prepare the cream sauce.

2. Combine cream, sour cream, jack cheese, grated Parmegiano Reggiano cheese, and garlic salt in a medium saucepan over medium/low heat. Heat this up slowly for about 10 minutes or until the sauce reaches a simmer and thickens. Just don't let the mixture boil.

3. Add the spinach mixture to the sauce and continue to heat over medium/low. Cook for about 10 more minutes or until mixture reaches a thick dip-like consistency. Pour into a bowl and serve with tortilla chips for dipping (or crackers, bread, whatever you want).
