Our good friend Jenn throws amazing parties – for watching 24, celebrating a birthday, or simply enjoying the weekend. She always has amazing food,
from Old Bay seasoned shrimp cocktail to pork tenderloin sandwiches, pepper jelly and cream cheese dip to brie and toast. One of her most popular dishes is Spinach and Artichoke Dip, a delicious and creamy combination that will make any evening a party! Here’s her recipe:
- 2 10 oz. packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed really dry
- 2 14 oz. cans artichoke hearts, drained and finely chopped
- 2 8 oz. packages cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 6 large garlic cloves, pressed
Drain spinach, press between layers of paper towels to remove excess moisture. Beat cream cheese until smooth in large bowl.
By hand, add the rest of the ingredients. Add mayonnaise. Add the spinach, artichokes, garlic and Parmesan cheese, stirring well. Spoon into a 9×13 baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Bake uncovered at 375 for 25 minutes. Serve with assorted crackers, bagel chips, tortilla chips or breadsticks.
