Hi! This is Emile again from Tales of a Texas Granola Girl.
I don’t know about your family, but typically the spread at any family get together around here, especially during the holiday season, starts with a ton of appetizers and snacks. Honestly, it’s always been my favorite part of dinner! It’s grazing at its best! As a kid, I was pretty much guaranteed to be found hanging around, not the dessert table, but the table with the yummy homemade dips! One of the appetizers that always seem to make the holiday table in our family was a classic baked artichoke dip. When I was a kid, it was the thing I looked forward to most at family gatherings...if it was on the table, I was camped out by it!
As I've gotten older, the same old artichoke dip still shows up on the table...still yummy...but predictable. You know how it goes...we all have that one Aunt or Grandma that brings the same dip or dish every year because it's always been a hit! Whenever I host a holiday party or I'm asked to bring something, I always try something new...it keeps everyone on their toes and keeps the holiday menu interesting!
Enter Tex-Mex Poblano Artichoke Dip.
As much as the classic will always hold a place in my heart, I thought it would be fun to put a fun, Texas spin on the beloved artichoke dip recipe, and hold onto your boots…cause it’s AMAZING! The addition of poblano peppers, onions and warm, Tex-Mex spices like cumin and paprika and melty Monterrey and Pepper Jack cheeses takes this dip to a whole new dimension! Spicy, creamy, rich, decadent and packed full of great Tex-Mex flavor!
Great for a holiday dinner party or even game day, this artichoke dip can be quickly assembled in advance and refrigerated until it's ready to go into the oven.

Delicious!! Both as a keto friendly dip and on top of chicken. I did both and was amazed at the great taste. I didn't miss the crackers
Marilyn says
My husband doesn't like this, but I love it. This is too much for one person, any chance it would freeze alright?
Taryn says
Most dips can be frozen. I haven't frozen this one but I think it will work.
HCH says
Any thoughts on doing this in a crock pot/slow cooker?
Taryn says
I've actually never made a dip in a slow cooker but I'm sure this one would be fine.
Haley says
So would a 13x9 pan work?
Taryn says
You would have to double it. A 6 cup casserole is closer to an 8x8.
Haley says
Would you cook it for as long though or more time ?
Taryn says
If you double it I'd add 5 minutes to the cooking time. Maybe 10. Just check the center gets hot.
Billy says
I've never made artichoke dip with poblano peppers before! This looks so delicious. Cannot wait to make this the next time we have folks over for football! Thank you so much for sharing.
