Hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip

This is a great dip to make for a party. It was gobbled up! I can’t wait to make it again, made it for one of my friend's outdoor concerts. The recipe is found on the back of a packet of Knorr vegetable recipe mix I purchased at Shaw’s.

4 cups | Prep time: 10min | Cook time: 35 minutes

1 box (10oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 package vegetable recipe mix
1 1/2 shredded Monterey Jack, cheddar or Swiss cheese, divided
1 jar marinated artichokes (Trader Joe’s), chopped
1 can (8oz) water chestnuts, drained and chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Combine spinach, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Knorr vegetable recipe mix, 1 cup cheese, artichokes, water chestnuts and garlic.

Spoon into a 2-quart casserole, then top with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. I added shredded Parmesan. Bake for 35 minutes or until dip is hot.
*oven at 350. I think a mini crock pot would also work well here.
Serve with pita chips or tortilla chips. Or even crackers!
