Drew Brees' Spinach & Artichoke Dip

I'm still tweaking our Super Bowl menu. Adding this appetizer dip

 

A255E336-8571-4ACC-980A-E26654F7AC41.jpeg

 

 

4 Tbsp. unsalted butter

½ cup (3 oz.) chopped white onion

2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

1 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, at room temperature

1½ cups chicken broth

1½ cups half-and-half

tsp. kosher salt

6 oz. Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1½ cups)

2 oz. pepper Jack cheese, shredded (about ½ cup)

1 large garlic clove, minced

¼ tsp. cayenne pepper

4 cups (4 oz.) chopped fresh spinach

1 (14-oz.) can drained, roughly chopped quartered artichoke hearts

Tortilla chips, for serving

 

1. Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until melted, about 1 minute. Add onion; cook, stirring often, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add flour; stir to coat and cook raw flour, about 1 minute. Add cream cheese; stirring often until mixture has completely combined and heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.

2. Gradually whisk in broth, half-and-half and salt; cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated and smooth, about 1 minute.

3. Add Parmesan, pepper Jack, garlic and cayenne pepper; cook, stirring until cheese is completely melted and mixture is smooth, about 1 minute.

4. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring constantly, to allow flavors to combine, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and artichokes, and continue cooking until spinach is wilted, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer dip to a large bowl, and serve immediately with tortilla chips.


Serves:
 12

Active time: 25 minutes

Total time: 25 minutes

Quick tip! Serve the dip in a slow cooker set on warm to keep it hot and melty during the game. Or reheat it in a 350° oven for 10 minutes, adding more broth or half-and-half as needed.

Yes! This looks like a GREAT recipe. I have 2 mini crockpots perfect for appetizer dips.

 

I'm still thinking of adding the Guy Fieri stuffed jalapeños to our spread

 

Hoping there are some good avocados, jalapeños and tomatoes when I hit the stores on Wednesday 🤞
