Creamy Artichoke Dip

Pin It   
Hi there. 
How is your week going?
Have you spent some time just laying around in your pj's?
Maybe reading a good book, or playing cards with your kids?
I sure hope so.
You deserve it!

I have a great, very easy appetizer recipe for you today. 
My dear friend Tricia has been making this fabulous dip 
(and sharing it with me!)
for years. 
Do you LOVE having friends that are willing 
to hang around you for "years"?

Friends that put up with you 
even when you SAY dumb things, 
or ACT kind of dumb, 
and LOOK really dumb.
I am often plagued with dumbness.
Once I clapped really loud after a prayer. 
I know, dumb. 
Really dumb. 
Must of been some prayer. 


My friend Tricia doesn't mind my dumbness. 
She just keeps inviting me over and making me some 
Creamy Artichoke Dip
and laughing at my jokes.
She's a keeper that girl. 
I'm hoping she'll keep me for years and years to come.

Creamy Artichoke Dip
Time: 10 min. hands on + 25 min. baking
Yield: 3 Cups
Recipe from my wonderful friend Tricia Toponce
 
1 C mayonnaise
2 C Monterey Jack cheese
1 (12 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts
1 1/2 C Parmesan Cheese (the grated kind...not in the green jar)
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilis
Butter Crackers (Club Crackers and Ritz Cracker work well)



1. Into a medium sized mixing bowl place 1 cup mayonnaise. 


2. Grate 2 cups of Monterey Jack cheese and add it to the bowl. 


3. Drain the liquid from the can of chilis and add it to the bowl. 


4. Toss in 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese. 


5. Drain the liquid from the artichoke jar and pour the artichokes out on a cutting board. 


Chop them up and add them to the mixing bowl. 


6. Mix all the ingredients together with a wooden spoon. Spray a 2 quart baking dish with cooking spray...


and pour the mixture into it. 
7. Bake uncovered, at 325 degrees for 25 minutes. 
Serve while still warm from the oven with buttery club crackers.
