Traeger Artichoke Dip Biscuit Bites

Smoked Artichoke Dip Biscuits

Smoked Artichoke Dip is one of my favorite party appetizers. It is easy to throw together, and everyone loves it. If you have leftover dip, this is a great way to use it up. If you don't, I've included a small-batch version of my dip so you can still whip up this recipe.

These work well for parties, appetizer boards, tailgating menus, and casual family nights.

You can keep the recipe mild and classic, or change it up with spinach, jalapeños, smoked cream cheese, or a different melting cheese. (Try pepper jack for a kick!) The base recipe is flexible and forgiving.

Recipe Shopping List

Wondering if you have to hit the store? Here's the list of items you'll need to make this recipe. For specific amounts, please refer to the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.

• Refrigerated Biscuits - One 8-count can makes this recipe quick and practical. Standard biscuits work well, but flaky-layer biscuits can be used if you pinch the seams closed tightly.
• Cream Cheese - Gives the filling its creamy base and helps hold everything together. Let it soften first so it mixes smoothly with the other ingredients.
• Sour Cream - Adds tang and loosens the cream cheese enough to make the filling spoonable. Greek yogurt can work in a pinch.
• Mayonnaise - Adds richness and helps the filling bake up creamy. Use a good-quality mayo since it contributes flavor.
• Canned Artichoke Hearts - Bring the signature artichoke dip flavor. Drain them well and chop them finely so each biscuit gets plenty of filling without large pieces tearing the dough.
• Mozzarella Cheese - Melts smoothly and gives the filling a stretchy, cheesy texture. Monterey Jack is a good substitute.
• Parmesan Cheese - Adds salty, savory depth to both the filling and topping. Freshly grated parmesan gives the best texture.
• Garlic - Fresh minced garlic adds a sharper, deeper flavor than garlic powder alone.
• Garlic Powder - Rounds out the garlic flavor and seasons the filling evenly.
• Salt - Brings the cheese, artichokes, and dough together. Use a light hand since parmesan already adds saltiness.
• Black Pepper - Adds a little bite to balance the creamy filling.
• Butter - Brushed over the tops before baking to help the biscuits brown and taste richer.
• Parsley - Optional, but it adds a fresh finish and makes the biscuit bites look ready for the table.
