spinach and artichoke dip Recipe

spinach and artichoke dip

Servs: 12 Prep: 15m Cook: 30m

Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 pkg frozen chopped spinach
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup grated Romano cheese
2 tsp garlic salt (or fresh garlic)
salt and pepper to taste
***optional: diced tomatoes

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Grease a 9x9 or 12x12 glass dish (depending on how thick you want the dip to be)

Cook the spinach as the package suggests you to and let it cool a bit. (You will need to squeeze the excess water out of it later) Drain and chop up the artichokes and garlic should you choose to make the dish with fresh garlic.

Mash the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl until it is mostly blended. Add the artichokes and drained spinach to the mixture. (I think it works best if you actually squeeze out the green juice) Add additional salt/pepper to your liking.

Spread the mixture into the greased dish and bake for about 30-40 minutes. It is "done" when it starts bubbling a bit and the middle is hot. (test with a knife)

Serve hot with bread, pita chips, or tortilla chips.
