Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip
Hot yummy delicious appetizers, coming up!
Recipe
1 10-oz pack frozen chopped spinach
2 (13 3/4 oz) cans artichoke hearts
1/2 c. mayo
1/2 c. sour cream
1 c. freshly grated Parmesan
1 c. grated pepper-jack cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a casserole dish.
Heat spinach in microwave 5 mins & squeeze dry. Drain artichokes and coarsely chop either in food processor or by hand.
Combine everything but the pepper-jack. Scrape into casserole dish, sprinkle with pepper-jack, and bake for 30 minutes.
Execution
So simple, and delicious at the same time. This is an excellent dish when you have a bunch of people coming over and you need something to stuff in their pie-holes. :)
Ingredients
The recipe pretty much tells you all you need to know. I used jarred artichokes instead of canned because that's what they had at Costco, but the canned ones are actually better in my opinion.
First, chop up all the artichokes. I just do it by hand because I hate cleaning the food chopper when I don't have to.
Chop chop chop.
While you're doing that, stick the frozen spinach in the microwave for five minutes. Once it's done, it might be completely dry or it might have some liquid in the bottom, it really depends on your microwave. If it's got liquid in it, just smoosh it out with a spoon and drain it.
Then you just mix everything in a big bowl...
...then scrape it into a greased dish and cover with more cheese.
Bake for thirty minutes, and bam! Nummy dip for to dip things in!
I recommend some cubed sourdough bread, which is what we used, or any kind of thick, heavy bread. And if you have leftovers and are just looking for something to snack on, I usually spread it on a toasted bagel.
