Ingredients

Let's take a look at the key ingredients you will need to make this artichoke and green chili dip!

Artichokes: I make this with quartered artichokes in water, not in oil or marinated.
Green chilies: Simple canned green chilies work perfectly but you can also roast your own! I prefer MILD chopped green chilies. But if you like a little heat in your dip then grab a spicy or hot can of diced green chilies.
Cheese: This easy artichoke dip gets its cheesy flavor from cream cheese and parmesan cheese.
Seasoning: Garlic powder and salt bring all the flavors together.
Lemon juice: Adds a bit of brightness to artichoke green chili dip. It's flavors naturally enhance the flavor of the artichokes.

How to Make Easy Hot Artichoke Dip

This dip is really super ridiculously easy, and fail-proof.

In a bowl add the artichokes and green chilies.
Then add the parmesan cheese, cream cheese, salt and garlic powder.
Give it a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Then mix it all up.

TOP TIP: The cream cheese mixes up best if it is softened ahead of time. But if it's still a little cold or stiff you can beat it with a beater.

Now place in a baking dish of your choice. It doesn't have to be very large. It really can be small and tall or wider.

REMEMBER the type of dish you use will affect the baking time. The wider and more shallow a bowl you use, the quicker the dip will cook. If you are using a smaller dish and your dip is thick rather than spread out you will need to cook it for closer to the 30 minutes. If it is in a wide long pan err on the side of about 20 minutes.

Bake your artichoke dip until it is nice a bubbly, and has a started to turn a little golden on the top.

Other ways to use it up! If you have leftovers (though I think it's unlikely), this dip reheats easily to serve up for another serving of dip! But you can also use it as a filling for quesadillas, on top of nachos, or added to a toasted grilled cheese!

How to Store

Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container and place in the fridge for up to five days. I don't recommend storing it in the freezer.

Reheat: Heat in a microwave safe dish for 1-3 minutes until heated through. Heat in small intervals and stir in between. Or return it to an oven safe dish and heat in a 350° F oven until heated through.

What does green chili artichoke dip taste like?

It's deliciously creamy with rich cheesy flavor from the parmesan and cream cheese. The green chilies give it some nice tangy flavor with a burst of brightness from the fresh lemon juice.

Can I make hot artichoke dip in advance?

Yes! It's perfect to make 1-2 days in advance. Store it in the fridge until you're ready to bake it up. If you store it in a ceramic baking dish, let it sit on the counter for 15-30 minutes so it doesn't crack moving from cold to hot temperatures. Allow the dip to cook 10-15 minutes longer since it is cold.
