This recipe came from our cookbook at the beauty shop where I work. We had many pot lucks, and every one wanted this and that recipe, so we all gave recipes and had our own book printed and sold them in the salon.

Serve the removed bread chunks along with crudites for dipping.

ALMOST-FAMOUS SPINACH-ARTICHOKE DIP

Almost-Famous Spinach-Artichoke Dip image

Houston's hugely popular spinach-and-artichoke appetizer wasn't always such a crowd pleaser. It started as a lowly side dish in the mid '80s, after Houston's first opened in Nashville, and it came dangerously close to disappearing from the menu altogether until chefs at the restaurant's Chicago outpost noticed customers ordering it with chips and eating it like a dip. The chefs tweaked founder George Biel's recipe and gave it a snappy name, Chicago- Style Spinach Dip, and it became an instant hit. Some fans, like Isabel Mondejo from Orlando, FL, can't get enough of it and wrote to us asking for the recipe. The company wouldn't divulge its secrets, so the chefs in Food Network Kitchens created this perfect imitation.

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

Kosher salt
2 10-ounce bags spinach, stems removed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup sour cream, plus more for serving
1/2 cup shredded white sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup frozen artichoke hearts, thawed, squeezed dry and roughly chopped
Tortilla chips and salsa, for serving

Steps:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Stir in the spinach and cook until bright green, about 30 seconds. Drain and rinse under cold water; squeeze out the excess moisture, then finely chop.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the onion is soft, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Parmesan and sour cream.
Return the pot to medium heat. Add the spinach, cheddar and artichokes and stir until the cheese melts and the dip is heated through. Serve warm with tortilla chips, salsa and sour cream.
