Spinach & Artichoke Dip

Alright - now I am on an artichoke kick lol! The ones from last night were so delicious that I decided we'd have them again tonight. Normally I make this dish for a party or a potluck or something fun but it's always delicious to just have for a snack night too! It's super easy, literally will take you 5-8 minutes tops to make, the rest of the time it's just browning up in the oven...ok now I'm salivating just thinking about it - let's go...


Recipe:


1 tbsp butter
dash of garlic salt
1 package of baby spinach
1 block of cream cheese - room temperature if possible
1 cup of shredded mozzarella
2 cloves of minced garlic
1/2 cup of sour cream
1 can of artichoke hearts - drained and chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large frying pan melt the butter. Once the butter is all melted and the frying pan is nice and hot add the spinach and garlic salt. Stir the spinach around so that it becomes wilted and well seasoned. It will go fast if your pan is hot enough so don't walk away here. Once it is all wilted, use a spoon and press the spinach against a side of the pan to drain the excess juice. Transfer the drained spinach to a bowl. Cube the cream cheese and add to the bowl. Add the mozzarella, sour cream, minced garlic and artichokes. Mix the ingredients until the mixture is creamy - top with a sprinkle of mozzarella if you have any left. Bake for 30-45 minutes - it will be bubbling and have a golden delicious top! Let it set for a few minutes, if you can bear to - I never have the willpower - then devour!
