I've made this a million times and people always seem to love it. And it's super easy...
My FAMOUS Spinach Artichoke Dip!
2 pkgs frozen creamed spinach – thawed
1 can artichoke hearts in water – drained & chopped
1 can sliced water chestnuts – drained & chopped
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 or 3 (or 4) garlic cloves – pressed or minced
1 big handful (about 3/4 cup) graded jack cheese
1 big handful (about 3/4 cup) graded mozzarella cheese
1 big handful (about 3/4 cup) graded parmesan cheese
1 shallot or ½ a small onion – minced (optional)
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 large sourdough round
tortilla chips or Wheat Thin crackers
Hollow out the bread to form a bowl. Take out as much of the inside as possible, but be sure to leave enough to keep the bowl sturdy. Tear/cut the inside bread into large bite size pieces.
Combine all ingredients (accept the bread & chips, of course) in a large, nuke safe, mixing bowl. Microwave about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Once warm, fill bread bowl with the yummy mixture. Place the bread bowl on a cookie sheet and scatter the bread pieces around. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes or until bread pieces are lightly toasted and the dip is bubbly.
When all the ooie-gooie goodness is devoured, cut up the bread bowl and eat it, too! It’s my favoritest part!
Enjoy!
