This is a good base recipe, something that can be changed to fit your personal taste, which is why I give it 4 stars (gotta show a little love for Paula, as always. It also makes a really big portion, which is great for parties.

With that being said, it calls for WAY too much mayo. I personally like mayo, a lot, and I'm not a health nut or someone who thinks that everything should be organic, yet I still found it to be overpowering in this dish. It was a big hit at my Christmas Party, but I felt like I was just dipping my tortillas chips into a jar of mayo that had artichoke chunks in it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but next time I may use a combination of different bases, or maybe a lighter mayo, rather than just cream cheese and 2 cups of plain mayo <yikes>!!

I love rainforest cafes artichoke dip and have tried several recipes to find it and wasn't able to find one close to theirs. This dip was so much better than theirs. It was so good. I also tried a variation of using small shrimp instead of artichokes and it was great as well.

I have to agree with the 5 star rating. After reading the other reviews I did cut the mayo to just 1 cup. It was a hit, lots of yummms and OMG, that is good. I will certainly make this again.

I made this for Sunday football for my husband and I and we ate half of it in one sitting. I did add jalepenos which added just the right amount of heat.

I took Three Cheese Artichoke Dip to a School Music Reception. People came up to me to say they had tasted my dip and had to find out who found out who made it. I kept hearing the word "amazing". I made a couple of changes. I didn't have green onions, so I used onion powder to taste. My major change was making it in my crockpot. It worked perfectly. My friends kept asking where I found this amazing recipe. I'll be preparing it again to serve on our Christmas Eve buffet. I think a major difference in this recipe and others is that Paula tells you to beat the first couple of ingredients with an electric mixer. That produces a wonderful smoothness. I chop the artichoke into very fine pieces with a chopping knife, and I always use Hellman's mayo. If you use your crockpot, just be sure to use the low setting so you don't get that brown crusty cheese around the sides and keep it stirred. I served with corn chips, but pita chips would go wonderfully. It's a 5 Star Recipe in my book!

Big hit and recipe requests always! I double the amount of artichokes, use 1 cup mayo and 1 cup sour cream (result is less greasy and more creamy, 1/4 tsp or less garlic powder, also more generous with worchestershire and tabasco. I also top with parmesan cheese creating a golden brown crust on top. Some of my modifications are from previous reviews...It's so fast and easy to make that I have also started making two for larger gatherings. I bake and serve in Emile Henry pie pans for a beautiful presentation and easy access dipping. I serve with pita chips and/or crudites.

We added crab and shrimp to this and it became an instant classic for girls night in. Everyone LOVED it!!!!!! Paired with a loaf of french bread and an apple tini, this recipe will be our go to! Very little prep and easy to find ingredients; simple to make but very sophisticated.

This was really easy to make. I took it to work and it was gone in 1/2 hr. Everyone raved about it and asked for the recipe.

Next time I'll have to make 2 batches.

It will be my appetizer to go for the future.

A hit at every party, holiday, or family function! People EXPECT to have this when they come to my house! I make it exactly as written! It's certainly not healthy for you, but it's one of those occasional dishes!! ;- Thanks Paula!
