This is an appetizer my friends and family love and often request. I made this for New Year’s Eve, along with the Apricot Gorgonzola Cheese Spread (to die for).
This is my sister’s recipe that’s been in the family for decades — it’s the best!
Ingredients
- 1 block cream cheese (8 ounces)
- 1 cup mayonnaise (I use Hellmann’s)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 oz can mild diced green Chiles
- 12 oz Jar (or 2–7.5 oz jars) of marinated artichoke hearts
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Drain artichoke hearts, leaving a tiny bit of marinade behind. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
Pour into a baking dish and bake on the middle rack for approximately 30 minutes, until bubbling and starting to turn golden brown. Remove and serve with tortilla chips, baguette, crackers, celery, whatever you like.
Tip
I never chop the artichoke hearts; I just mix them with the rest of the ingredients as is – I like the big chunks of artichokes in my dip. If you prefer, you can chop them into a smaller size.

I didn’t have any plain cream cheese so I used herb and garlic and I used cut up pickled peppers. It was a big hit!

Can this be mixed a day ahead or does it get runny?

Kim, I am glad you asked that question. When I see ‘grated parm’ , I think the’ green’ can. When I see ‘shredded parm’, to me that means fresh shredded. I had to dump a whole batch of another recipe because I used the green can when it called for grated.
Tyler
Sorry. Gotta always go to for the grated.
Kim
Is it the Parmesan in the green can or real shredded parm?
Mary Neumann
Not the green can – real shredded Parmesan, Kim.
Carol
Can you substitute mozzarella for premesan??
Stephanie
I added a teaspoon anda tablespoon of Worcester sauce and it amped it up nicely.
Melody
What do I do with the bit of artichoke hearts liquid that the recipe called for setting aside?
Mary Neumann
Hi Melody, I reserve a little of the marinade for the dip and toss the rest.
Pam
Thanks for asking. That was what I was wondering also.
Jen
I add chopped bacon, dash of cayenne, dash of garlic, S&P – yummy!

I made this yesterday for a party! Doubled the recipe, added 10oz frozen spinach, a little bit of salt and pepper and a dash of Worcestershire and it was perfect. Definitely making this again.

Do you add some cheese to the top as mine when they came out of the oven didn't look like your picture?
