Hot Artichoke and Spinach Dip

Marney's Note:

I made MustangMom's Delicious Zucchini Casserole the other night for dinner and LOVED it, especially the sauce that goes on the zucchini. I was thinking how it would make a wonderful base for a hot artichoke and spinach dip. Here is the dip with my alterations. Oh, and if you haven't tried her casserole, it's a must!

This did not have enough artichoke flavor for me, let alone spinach. It tasted like a lot of competing cheese flavors. I'd like to try it with double the artichoke and spinach, and eliminate the cheddar altogether. Thanks, Marney! Made for Eggs and Dairy tag game.
