Spinach Artichoke Dip

Spinach and Artichoke Dip

I made this and took it to my parent's house for the super bowl. It was delicious! All the recipes I found called for mayonnaise, and sour cream, and cream cheese. So I invented my own recipe to make it slightly less artery-clogging. 

Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese, softened. (Or if you're like me, and don't think ahead, microwave it for like 20 seconds)

1/4 c light sour cream 

1/4 c parmesan cheese

1/4 c romano cheese 

1 heaping tsp of garlic powder

1/2 tsp dried basil (opt)

pinch of pepper

1 (14oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped. (small, huge chunks of artichokes would make the texture weird)

1 frozen box of chopped spinach (tip: frozen spinach is more cost effective then fresh, and just as healthy.) 

1/2 c mozzarella 

**you don't need any salt because the parm and romano are salty cheeses! 

Directions

preheat oven to 350. spray non stick spray in a small baking dish.

mix together cream cheese, sour cream, parmesan, romano, garlic, basil, and pepper. gently stir in artichokes, spinach, and 1/4 c mozzarella. transfer to baking dish, sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella. Bake 25 minutes, or until bubbly and light brown. keep an eye on it, if the top gets too brown, or you don't want the top to get brown, cover with aluminum foil. It would be yummy to top with chopped tomatoes. Eat with tortilla chips. Enjoy! :)
