I turned on my computer Sunday morning specifically to do a recipe search for a dip containing spinach, artichoke hearts and cream cheese. Lo and behold, there in the 100 most recently posted recipes was just what I was looking for. I served it with sesame thin crackers. Very tasty! A couple changes I made: I only had a 12 ounce jar of marinated artichoke hearts, which I subbed for the canned and I added about a teaspoon of prepared horseradish. I also used a 1 quart crockpot instead of the oven.

This was great. I made this for the superbowl also and everyone really enjoyed. We decided that we did not need to puree the mixture as much as we did because we enjoy a bit of chunkiness to our dip, but the flavors were very good. Served with Triscuits and tortilla chips. I'll be making this again.
