Spinach-Artichoke Dip

Definitely not low fat, and when I've made it for the family get-togethers, I double the recipe.

1 pkg frozen spinach, thawed, drained, squeezed dry
1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained & chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup mayo
2 pkgs cream cheese, softened
2 T lemon juice (use fresh lemons, not the bottled stuff)
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (not the kind in the can...get the real stuff, which can be expensive, so I've used Italian blend cheese that has parmesan in it and it's worked fine)

  • Mix cream cheese & mayo in a bowl until smooth
  • Add everything else and stir
  • Pour into baking dish, cover with foil, bake 375 for 20 minutes, then uncovered for 5 minutes more,
  • Or, do what I do and dump it all in a crockpot and stir it every once in a while until it's hot and bubbly

Woo hoo!

Did you always put spinach in it?

Yep, I love spinach. I was wondering what it would be like with fresh spinach instead of frozen.
