Artichoke Dip

Creamy Delicious Artichoke Dip

You all I am sure have had bad Artichoke Dip..we all have, and that is because most recipes are bad and should be banned from all cookbooks. But this one is different. I promise, you will love this one. The texture and taste is just like what you get when you order it at an Italian restaurant.
Friends....this I promise will be your new "go to" recipe when you are asked to bring a dish to any sort of gathering. It is simple and delish....and it will feed a crowd. Cook this in a 9x13inch dish and serve with whole wheat crackers. The contrast between the creamy savory dip and sweet wheat crackers is my favorite. Chips work too!
My husbands family is huge and full of great cooks. I received this from my sister-in-law's mother, who is an amazing cook. Thanks for the recipe Shirley!

Artichoke Dip

2 cans of artichoke hearts, drained and chopped. (I take the chopped artichokes in my hand and squeeze them over the sink until they are dry)
2 cups of Parmesan cheese
2 cups of mayo
2 cups of mozzarella cheese
2 tsp dill (I use I tsp)
1\2 tsp garlic powder
One box frozen spinach, thawed and drained. ( I drain these the same way I do the artichokes)
4oz diced green chilies (optional)
4 Tbsp chopped green onion

Heat 350 until golden and bubbly.
