Spinach Artichoke Dip

Here is my spinach and artichoke dip I use for all of our parties and weekend pig-out sessions. My best friend Beth requested that I blog about it, and it wasn't until she mentioned it that I remembered it was a true favorite of mine to make.  I have tried other recipes, but this one is so creamy, cheesy and rich, it's absolutely delicious!

Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Ingredients
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Romano cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese ( I always end up adding the whole bag, who doesn't love extra cheese!?)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a small baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, garlic, salt and pepper. Gently stir in artichoke hearts and spinach.
  3. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven 25 minutes, until bubbly and lightly browned.

Serve with crackers or tortilla chips...but, just as a warning, make sure you make two batches, this will be one recipe you have to do that with.  Once you sit down and start "snacking" it will be gone before you know it!! Tony and I can eat through an entire batch in one sitting, yes, it's that good! Enjoy!
