What’s in Spinach Artichoke Dip Stuffed Rolls?
- Cream cheese: This is the creamy foundation of our dip. I like using Philadelphia because it’s got that perfect smooth texture when softened.
- Sour cream: Adds a delightful tanginess that lightens up the filling. I usually opt for Daisy Sour Cream—it’s just so rich!
- Mayonnaise: For that creamy goodness, I go for Hellmann’s. It adds richness that really complements the dip.
- Cooked spinach: Fresh or frozen works! Just make sure to drain it well. I often use frozen spinach for convenience—just thaw and squeeze out the moisture!
- Artichoke hearts: You’ll want to grab a can. I like the Roland brand for its tender and flavorful hearts that blend seamlessly into the filling.
- Shredded cheddar cheese: Make it extra cheesy! I usually choose sharp cheddar for a bolder taste.
- Grated Parmesan cheese: This adds an extra layer of flavor. Freshly grated is best, but the pre-grated stuff works in a pinch!
- Garlic powder and onion powder: These classic seasonings enhance the overall flavor without overpowering the dip.
- Salt and pepper: The essentials; adjust to your taste! I like using freshly cracked pepper for a bit of bite.
- Dinner rolls: Choose soft dinner rolls—15 count works perfectly for this recipe. I love using Hawaiian rolls for that sweet touch!
Is Spinach Artichoke Dip Stuffed Rolls Good for You?
While I wouldn’t call these Spinach Artichoke Dip Stuffed Rolls health food, they do have some redeeming qualities! The spinach is a superfood packed with vitamins A and K, and those artichoke hearts? They’re full of fiber, which can help keep you satisfied. And let’s not forget about the cheese—while delicious, it can be a bit indulgent. If you’re concerned about calories, you can always go for reduced-fat versions of the cream cheese and mayonnaise or swap in some Greek yogurt for a lighter touch. Balance is key, right? Just be ready to snack responsibly!

How to Make Spinach Artichoke Dip Stuffed Rolls?
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Get that oven nice and toasty!
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and well blended. It’s like a dreamy cloud!
- Now stir in the chopped spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is evenly combined.
- Take each dinner roll and gently hollow it out using your fingers or a small spoon. Create enough space for that delicious filling—but don’t go overboard!
- Fill each hollowed roll with the spinach artichoke dip mixture, packing it in gently.
- Place the stuffed rolls on a baking sheet. If you like, sprinkle some additional cheddar cheese on top of each roll for extra indulgence.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbly. The aroma will be divine!
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. You can hardly wait, I know!
Tips for Stuffed Roll Success!
- These rolls are best served warm, so enjoy them fresh out of the oven if possible!
- You can prepare the filling ahead of time and simply refrigerate it until you’re ready to stuff the rolls. Just let it come to room temperature before using.
- Feel free to customize the cheese! Adding mozzarella brings a nice stretchy texture, or go wild with some pepper jack for a spicy kick!
