Houston’s Spinach Dip

December 16, 2011 by Angie 11 Comments

This is another one of those recipes I worked on for a long time and went down many wrong roads. But, I do think I have it pretty close to Houston’s Restaurant now and it is great appetizer to serve. I serve this with white tortilla chips, limes, sour cream and salsa. Yum! It makes 2 pans this size, I make one for us and one to take to party or gathering I have to bring something.

Houston’s Spinach and Artichoke Dip

2 – 10 oz frozen spinach chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped onion fine
1/2 stick butter
1/4 cup of flour
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup good chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon crystal hot sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup grated Pecorino Romano chesse
1/2 cup sour cream
1 ~ 12 oz bag frozen artichokes hearts washed drained and chopped
1/2 cup white cheddar cheese grated
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese grated ~ buffalo is best

Bake at 325
Drain spinach remove as much of the water as you can. Chop onion and in medium sauce pan cover over med heat until browned lightly add garlic then add flour and cook for at least 1 minute. Add chicken stock and cream stirring the entire time ! Cook until bowling and some what thick add the lemon, hot sauce and pecorino cheese stir on heat until the cheese melts. Add the spinach, artichokes, then sour cream. Put in a buttered baking dish top with the remaining cheese and bake until golden brown on top.

Serve dip with more sour cream on the side, lime and white tortilla chips yum!!! This is so good, it pretty close to theirs.YEA!! Success !!

    LOVED this recipe! It came out great. I made it for my sister’s birthday party. It was a big hit. I placed spinach dip inside of sourdough bread bowl and used bread cut in pieces for dipping. I also served it with white tortilla chips. My sister was impressed asking “Did you get that from Panera Bread?” I proudly said, “No, I made it!”

    This recipe makes a ton of dip. I had so much leftover. Dinner party only included 5 people. This recipe could easily feed 20-25 as an appetizer.

    I’m freezing the rest. YUM!

    KD, thanks…so glad you all liked the recipe, yes it does make a lot. I do the same, make one dish for my party then freeze another for later date. This is always fun to be able to pull out of the freezer when friends stop by unexpected. I have even divided it into 4th’s and put in great little dishes, give as hostess gifts or Christmas gifts with chips/bread Great Gift idea! Smiles Angie

    I have been testing different spinach artichoke recipes and this one by far is the best. I love that you can add or subtract different ingredients and it is still so delicious. Thank you for sharing!!
