A party dipper beyond compare…
What’s a gathering without a hearty amount of spinach artichoke dip? When the gang’s all here, turn to this recipe to feed a lot of hungry mouths. It’s such a go-to, especially because you can make a ton of filling dip in little time at all. Adding crushed red pepper provides a little something extra to an already tasty appetizer.
If you like spicy (why else would you be here?), feel free to have a heavier hand on the CRP than we recommend below. This amount gives it a family friendly heat. Adding in an additional 1/4 of a teaspoon of crushed red pepper is a good next step.
