This is a warm and toasty dip, perfect for fall and winter – it’s great for potlucks, football Sundays, or just good comfort food to snack on! 🙂

Ingredients

• 1/3 c mayonnaise
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2x 8oz. packages cream cheese, softened by letting sit at room temp for ~20 mins
• 3/4 c grated parmesan cheese
• 5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (tip: put slices flat between paper towel and microwave for ~1min per slice)
• 1 or 2x 14 oz cans quartered artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
• 1 10oz. package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained and squeezed dry

Directions

• Oven to 350
• Place mayo, garlic, cream cheese in a large bowl and beat with mixer till well blended and creamy (you can also do this in your food processor – which I’m a huge fan of for quick & easy blending)
• Stir in parmesan cheese, bacon, artichoke hearts, and spinach
• Spread mixture into an 11×7 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray
• Sprinkle with remaining parmesan cheese
• Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until thoroughly heated, bubbly and starting to turn golden around the edges
• Serve with carrot sticks

Super mom tip: This is another dish that freezes super well and can be reheated.
