Artichoke Dip

At a previous job whenever the party sign up list got to me I was already filled in to bring this every time! It can be easily halved, but I recommend using only full fat ingredients, it does NOT turn out well with light or nonfat products.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Yields: 1 serving dish

Ingredients

• 2  cans  water packed artichoke hearts, drained
• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1  cup mayonnaise
• 1  cup parmesan cheese (I use Krafts cannister)
•  garlic powder (I like plenty)
•  parsley flakes
•  cayenne pepper
•  baguette or   buttery cracker, as dippers

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Coarsely chop artichokes, set aside.
3. Take cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan.
4. Beat until fluffy.
5. Add seasonings and artichokes.
6. Blend well by hand.
7. Place dip into a casserole (I use a fluted quiche dish) and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly golden brown.
8. Slice bagette, place out crackers, and watch them chow down.
