Source of Recipe


From "Savory Sweet Life" by Alice Currah



List of Ingredients



• 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
  
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
  
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  
• 1/2 cup sour cream
  
• 3 tsp cayenne pepper
  
• 2 tsp garlic powder
  
• 1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
  
• 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
  
• 1 cup grated Parmesan
  
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 400° F. Heat the frozen spinach in the microwave for 5 minutes. Carefully squeeze out as much water as possible, and set aside.
   
   
2. Microwave the cream cheese for a minute. Combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, cayenne and garlic powder in a large bowl and blend together well. Add the spinach, bacon, artichoke hearts and cheeses. Stir together.
   
   
3. Spread in a pie plate or small casserole dish (or small ramekins or baking dishes). Bake until bubbling and slightly browned on top (30 minutes in a small casserole dish or pie plate; less time for smaller ramekins). Serve hot with crackers, pita chips or vegetable sticks.
   
   Makes about 6 cups.
