Spinach and Artichoke Dip

This easy Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip is perfect for lazy Saturday nights in front of the TV or even the watching the big game. It mixes together in minutes.. then just pop it in the oven..

TIPS

I made a smaller version of this (pictured)… simply cut the ingredients in half.
Of course I forgot to thaw the spinach ahead of time.. silly… now why would I remember to do that?? Just pop it in a microwaveable dish and nuke it for about 3-4 minutes…

The original recipe had the same ingredients.. most recipes for this do… but the amounts differed… I don’t use a lot of mozzarella… it just gets too gooey and not easy to dip.
