Smoked Spinach Artichoke Dip

"Looking for a fun appetizer recipe with an outdoor smoky twist? Fire up the grill or smoker and make a batch of this Smoked Spinach Artichoke Dip! To be fair, this Smoked Spinach Artichoke Dip is simply the classic version of the dip, and the entire skillet visits the smoker for a bit before it gets served. If you don’t have a smoker, don’t worry! I included instructions in the recipe below for making this one on a standard grill. One unique thing about this recipe is you’ll need to use a pan that can go straight into the grill or smoker. A cast iron skillet works great for this purpose! The Smoked Spinach Artichoke Dip gets cooked indoors (it only takes about 20 minutes) and then the entire cast iron skillet gets transferred to the grill. Another ~20 minutes or so later, you’ve got a delicious summer appetizer ready for friends and family. Note: cold beers are an excellent accompaniment when serving this dish!"
