Hot Spinach-Artichoke Dip

Source of Recipe

From "Whiskey in a Teacup" by Reese Witherspoon


Recipe Introduction

"This dip is a beloved cocktail party standard across the United States, but the South will lay ownership to anything containing cream cheese and mayonnaise. Perhaps one of the easiest party dishes to make, it goes equally great with cheap beer or fine wine."

List of Ingredients

◦  ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
◦  1 cup frozen spinach, thawed, drained, and coarsely chopped
◦  1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
◦  4 ounces (½ cup) cream cheese, room temperature
◦  ½ cup sour cream
◦  ¼ cup mayonnaise
◦  1 clove garlic, grated
◦  ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
â—¦ 4 to 5 dashes of hot sauce (optional)


Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Spray a small baking dish with baking spray or rub with soft butter.

Mix ¼ cup of the Parmesan cheese together with the rest of the ingredients and spoon into the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese over the top of the mixture.

Bake until it begins to bubble and the cheese starts to brown, about 20 to 30 minutes. Serve warm with crackers or bread.
