Spinach Artichoke Dip Cheesy Bread - your favorite dip gets a cheesy bread makeover! You will go crazy for this idea!
You may know by now, that we are crazy about our cheesy garlic bread around here. It is so good and so easy to make that we always make it for parties, get-togethers, game day or simply when the craving strikes.
Well, the craving stroke again but this time I wanted to include our favorite another of our favorite dishes in the idea. We have done this before with the Jalapeno Popper Cheesy Bread, Philly Cheese Steak Bread or Italian Chicken Bread. This time, I turned the Spinach Artichoke Dip into a filling and spread it over the bread. An additional sprinkle of mozzarella and it was ready for baking.
What came out of the oven was truly beyond my expectations. It was cheesy and creamy and amazing!
I think that cheesy bread or any variation of it (and we have a lot of them here on Crunchy Creamy Sweet) should always make it's way to a party menu. It is a guaranteed hit with the crowd and always disappears - no leftovers in sight!
It is also a great dish to make for new parents or friends that are under the weather. It will be highly appreciated!
I would even recommend making both: the dip and the cheesy bread and let your guests decide. Another option is to turn this into a meal for a family by adding cooked shredded chicken to the filling. It is fabulous and filling! You are getting protein and veggies while your taste buds are having a party. Win win!

I make a similar version but It doesn’t call for ranch dressing powder. Loved that change! The only thing I missed from my original recipe was 1/2 cup of toasted sesame seeds. They add a delicious flavor to this bread. But this I my new go-to version with that addition! Thanks!
