Bff Spinach and Artichoke Dip

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.
