1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

   Next, take your thawed spinach and place it in a clean kitchen towel.

4. Step 4

   Wrap it up tightly and give it a good squeeze to remove any excess water, leaving it just damp—this will help keep your dip from getting watery.

   In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

7. Step 7

   Mix everything together until it’s smooth and creamy, creating a delightful base for your dip.

   Now, it’s time to add some flavor! Toss in the chopped artichoke hearts, drained spinach, a splash of green hot pepper sauce, and minced garlic.

9. Step 9

   Stir everything together until well combined, letting those flavors mingle.

10. Step 10

    For that cheesy goodness, fold in one cup of shredded mozzarella and a quarter cup of shredded Parmesan cheese, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

11. Step 11

12. Step 12

    If you’re feeling indulgent, sprinkle a little extra cheese on top for a deliciously crispy and bubbly finish.
