Bff Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Submitted by Jessica Em

"My best friend got this recipe from her mom, and it was her party offering staple for a long time. I finally asked her for the recipe after begging and demanding she make it for several of my get-togethers. Now it's my own party offering staple. I always notice that it's one of the first things to disappear, no matter how big the potluck is."

This recipe is delicious! Wonderful garlic flavor. I've had the exact version before, but this time I omitted the bread crumbs, and threw everything in the crock pot on hi until it got melty, stirred it all together thoroughly, then cut it back to low to keep it hot for my party guests. I also had to settle for a 14 oz can of chokes, because my store didn't have the 6 oz jars, and that worked just fine. Thanks for the recipe!
