Spinach and Artichoke Dip
Originally found at Food Network
1 package chopped frozen spinach
1 can chopped artichoke hearts
8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Boil spinach and artichokes in 1 cup of water until tender and drain. Discard liquid. Heat cream cheese in microwave for 1 minute or until hot and soft. Stir in rest of ingredients and serve hot.
My Notes:
One of my friends made this for the talent show that we had last month, and I've used a friend's party as an excuse to make it. That, and I had a block of frozen spinach in the freezer and no idea what to do with it. I threw it in the crockpot, and proceeded to leave it at home when I went to the party. Oops.
It was still good afterwards, though perhaps less volume, and I'm bringing it to a superbowl party later today instead. It'll still be good and we'll have food there. It's great, with just the right amount of spice and ingredients that I can actually fathom eating in the dip (my mom's recipe calls for hot sauce, which I never use in anything else, so I never care to buy a bottle just for the dip).
