Artichoke Dip

Artichoke dip is one of my standard appetizers for our family parties. I try to keep a few cans of artichoke hearts on hand in the pantry in case I need to make it at the last minute. If you shop sales, you can make this appetizer for under $2.

I like to pair the artichoke dip with crackers, slices of french bread, or crudite. Since the dip is a bit thick, I use a small knife for serving.

Ingredients

1 14 oz. can of artichoke hearts drained and chopped into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup of mayonnaise
1/2 cup of sour cream
1/4 cup of parmesan or romano cheese

Method

Mix everything together in the bowl you’ll be using to serve the dip. If you’re freezing the dip, wrap it and freeze at this point.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, and you’re finished.

Sounds great…think I’ll try and cut back the mayo…you think it’d still be ok?

Play around with the taste before you bake it. It’s a pretty wet recipe so I don’t think reducing the mayo will hurt it.
