Hot artichoke dip in a baking dish with crackers

I’m a huge snack person, so I always look forward to appetizers at a gathering. When I’m hosting, I love having a variety of dips such as Greek tzatziki and pico de gallo. They’re the hit of any party!

This time of year when the weather gets cooler, it doesn’t get better than a warm, cheesy dip like Maryland crab dip or this Hot Artichoke Dip recipe!

This dip is a special recipe that a family member made at almost every gathering before she passed away, and it’s impossible not to think about her when I make it.

It’s unlike most artichoke dip recipes as it doesn’t contain cream cheese, it’s got twice as many artichoke hearts, and its comprised mostly of cheddar and parmesan cheese.

What truly sets it apart is diced chilis, which cuts through the richness with a slight kick of heat.

This is one crowd pleasing appetizer that’s also ridiculously easy to make. 🙂

Artichoke dip recipe ingredients

Ingredient notes

  • Artichoke hearts. For best results, use artichoke hearts packed in water, not marinated artichoke hearts. When chopping the artichokes, discard any tough parts that are hard to cut through as they’ll be difficult to chew.
  • Cheese. The cheese is the primary ingredients as this dip includes 2 cups of grated cheddar and 1 cup of grated parmesan. That may sound like a lot (and it is!), but I’ve tried to use less and it’s just not the same. Feel free to substitute with your favorite varieties of cheese.
  • Mayonnaise. The mayo adds richness and creaminess, and helps bind the dip together.
  • Sour cream. This adds a nice tangy flavor, but if you don’t have any on hand it may be substituted with Greek yogurt or more mayonnaise.
  • Diced chilis. Use medium spiced diced chilis as mild chilis don’t impart a lot of flavor. If you don’t have any on hand, substitute with about 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes or 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
