mmmm, dip

Looking for a delicious creamy dip to warm up your weekend? Try this one. I've eaten some pretty good spinach/ artichoke dips in my day (one of the best catered at our wedding), but this recipe is by far my favorite, and totally simple. I made it for a New Years gathering last month, and it was a real hit. You can modify this to keep warm in a crock pot instead of baking it if you prefer. You'll want to take this one to all your gatherings!

Cheesy Spinach Artichoke Dip

INGREDIENTS

• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
• 1/2 cup yellow bell pepper, diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
  
• 1 (6 ounce) jar artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
• 1 (8 ounce) tub sour cream
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (not the powdered kind)
  
• 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1/2 pint heavy cream

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix together spinach, bell pepper, garlic, artichokes, sour cream, parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Mixture will be thick - add cream to thin to dip consistency. Spoon into a 1 quart baking dish.
3. Bake for 20 minutes, or until bubbly. Serve with tortilla chips or sliced baguettes. Enjoy!
