Recipe Tuesday - Hot Artichoke and Spinach Dip


Hot Artichoke and Spinach Dip

1 jar (6 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 pkg (9-11 ounces) frozen creamed spinach, thawed
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 small garlic clove, pressed
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
Diced red pepper (optional)

Preheat oven to 375.Combine all ingredients except red pepper in bowl, mix well.
Spoon into oven safe dish.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through. Garnish before serving with red pepper in center for color.

Serve with crackers or baked pita chips (split pita pocket in half horizontally, then cut each round into 8 pieces, bake in single layer on cookie sheet or stone for 8 to 10 minutes or until chips are lightly browned and crisp, cool completely). I also serve it with mini baguettes, lightly toasted.
