In addition to Peanut Butter Pie, I was also responsible for bringing an appetizer to Mother's Day at my sister's. My go-to appetizers are my mom's cheese ball and my paternal grandma Laverna's olive nut spread, which some day I'll post, but I wanted to do something different. My girl Raleigh (Rae's sister-in-law-to-be) planned to make a hot caprese dip, and I thought I'd compliment it with another hot dip. Spinach Artichoke Dip it was, but I couldn't find a recipe I liked. There were a couple good candidates including some interesting ones with Alfredo sauce, but I wanted to use mostly ingredients on hand. Will all this in mind I did something I am still new to; I looked at a bunch of recipes and from them made my own. Turned out pretty well with no major critiques from Momma D. I served it with toasted mini pitas.
Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip
1 (10 oz) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed 1 can artichoke hearts, chopped (doesn't have to be a fancy jar) 1 cup shredded mozzarella 8 oz cream cheese 2/3 cup sour cream 1/3 cup mayo 1/3 cup grated Parmesan 2 teaspoons garlic 1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine spinach, artichokes, and mozzarella. In a separate bowl, mix together remaining ingredients. Combine well with original mixture. In a 9x9, bake for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and slightly brown.
Yay you're back brit!!! Recipe looks awesome.
