Spinach & Artichoke Dip


This is one of my favorite appetizers. Matt and I always order it in restaurants and I decided I needed to find a good recipe. I found a few different recipes and modified those into this recipe. I made this for the first time for dinner with Jane and her family. It got rave reviews and is now a favorite in our house.


8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup grated Romano cheese
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
salt and pepper to taste
14 oz. can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a small baking dish. In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, garlic, basil, garlic salt, salt, pepper and mozzarella cheese. Gently stir in artichoke hearts and spinach. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven 25 minutes, until bubbly and lightly browned. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips, pita chips or sliced French bread. Enjoy!
