This is not your usual spinach dip. Not even close. Not by a mile. This copycat recipe of the Bubba Gump Far Out dip is flat-out amazing. So many great flavors, all in each and every bite. Ooey-gooey cheese. Crispy vegetables. This dip doesn’t weigh you down. Even though this dip is not thin, it’s still light and very delicious. You’ll want more and more. So, make a double batch or more, especially if you’re taking it to a get-together.
Drain Those Artichokes!
Make sure you drain your artichokes well before making this copycat recipe for Bubba Gump Far Out dip. This dip is on the thick side and it needs to stay that way. If you don’t drain the artichokes the dip will end up runny. Served hot, each bite of this dip delivers on taste and creaminess. We’ve eaten at several Bubba Gump restaurants. If we’re in the mood for an appetizer, this is it. Well, ok, some times I get a shrimp appetizer, but I mean… it’s Bubba Gump, you have to get shrimp!

Thoughts
After making this dip and devouring it, I flashed back to a panini sandwich I’d made not too long ago. My grilled spinach and artichoke cheese sandwich would’ve been even better had I filled it with this dip. There’s nothing about this dip recipe that requires you to use it as a dip, really. There aren’t any dip police.
So that got me to thinking even further. “You know”, I thought “Those spinach- and artichoke-stuffed burgers you made were great. I bet this dip would make them even better!”.
So next time you’re making something that calls for artichokes. Or spinach. Think of this dip. It might be even better in that dish. It’s certainly crazy good as a dip. Why not use is elsewhere too?
