Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip


With football season upon us there is only one thing I can think about.. food. I know over 97% of my thoughts are about food but you know you all agree. What's better than sitting on the couch, cheering for your favorite team while sinking a salty chip into a bowl of creamy dip? Oh, not much. As the first of many dips to come this fall season, this one's a sure winner. You will love how simple this dip is to make. You simply throw everything in a bowl and mix it all up and then heat it up in the oven. With school craziness starting I just love easy snacks that taste ridiculously good. The combination of cream cheese, sour cream and mayo give this dip an extra rich flavor.  Not to mention that the spinach and artichokes add to the health factor ;) Everyone knows when you add vegetables to anything it makes it healthy right? Wait, is that wrong? Oh well, I'm eating it anyways. Treat yourself to hot spinach artichoke dip to warm you up this fall!


Ingredients:
5 oz (half of a package) frozen spinach (thawed, drained and coarsely chopped)
1 (14 oz) can of artichoke hearts (drained and coarsely chopped)
4 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 close garlic (grated)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Throw all of the ingredients into a medium sized bowl. Mix well with a large spoon. Pour mixture into a heat proof baking dish (I used a ramekin and a gratin dish because that's all I had, but I think around an 8x8 inch dish will do the trick). Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and the top is browned. Serve with crackers.
