Spinach Artichoke Dip

MistyCat82's Note:

I have tried all sorts of spinach artichoke dips, and this one is by far my favorite. It does not have a lot of extra spices, but rather allows the flavor of the various ingredients to shine through. As an impatient chef, I always scoop out a little of the mixture before baking it and warm it up in the microwave. It is not quite as good as baking, but it does give instant gratification. Of course, I make everyone else wait for the baked product. LOL.

I made this for my family as an appetizer for Thanksgiving and it was a HUGE hit. Very easy to make. I added a dash of garlic powder to add a little more flavor, and might add real minced garlic next time, but even without it, it was delicious. Also one of the healthier recipes for artichoke dip I've found on the internet!

While traveling in the U.P. of Michigan, we made this great appetizer. Well, I think it was great because I didn't get a chance to taste it (it was eaten up before I got to try it). Anyway, everyone said it was a 5 star recipe. I will definitely make this again, so I can have a taste too. Thanks for sharing, MistyCat82.
