Of all the party dips out there, spinach-artichoke is a classic that always pleases a crowd. Ree Drummond has been a fan since, well, at least the 1990s. "I can't help it. It's so darn good," she confesses. And she's not alone! There are countless recipes for the melty cheese dip out there from across the country, including two from The Pioneer Woman right here on her site.
But do you know what else you'll find from Ree on this site? Spinach-artichoke recipes that go beyond the dip. Because if you can enjoy it as an easy appetizer, why not enjoy it as a creamy pasta, a gooey calzone, or a hearty casserole, right? Right. Ree knows a good thing when she sees... er, tastes one. Because if you ask her, or any fan of the classic combo, could there be anything more delicious? "I have an answer for ya: No. No, there couldn’t," she confirms.
And while most of the recipes here are indulgent in the way comfort food should be, it still is a great way to get even the pickiest eaters to consume those leafy greens. You can transform everyday spinach recipes (and artichoke recipes!) into extraordinary ideas just with a few adjustments. So what are you waiting for? Check out all the ways you can turn Ree's favorite '90s snack into a tasty meal. Oh, plus her two go-to versions of the dip, of course.
