Truthfully, I am not a big fan of hot artichoke and spinach dips. Don’t get me wrong: I love spinach! In fact, I eat it literally every day. I just don’t like it in hot dips. (Yes, I know I’m weird!) This Hot Artichoke Dip recipe is one of my favorites because it does not include spinach like so many hot dips do.

Now, when I make this for guests, I will double the recipe. I can usually find the cheese and cream cheese on sale, and I make it my habit to always check the clearance and day-old bread section in my grocer’s bakery. You can always freeze the bread you find on sale. Then you have it ready to use whenever you need it.
Cook’s Tip: A really fun way to serve this (and it makes a gorgeous presentation) is to pour it into a hollowed-out bread loaf. Try pumpernickel or sourdough. Cover with aluminum foil and bake. Don’t throw away the bread that was hollowed out! Remember, we don’t want to waste anything. Instead, cut it into bite-sized pieces for dipping.
This is always a crowd-pleaser. It’s a good, hearty dip. It is a mainstay of My Holiday Meal Plan, and it’s one of My Favorite New Year’s Eve Appetizers. It will definitely score with your family and friends if you try it for your Super Bowl party!

I am the same way, Kelly. I love spinach dip but only cold and I love artichioke dip but only hot and without spinach. I have a wonderful artichoke recipe that is similar to your but with mayo but I have never tried hot sauce in it – that sounds great!
Made this for my husband for the super bowl last night and it turned out great!!! I am so excited I finally got to try the Frank’s hotsauce you talk about all the time! 🙂
