Today I’m making the spinach and artichoke dip that I posted on my blog recently and everyone loved it and for good reason it’s really easy and you won’t be able to stop eating it.

Ingredients

• 8 ounce package of cream cheese (or low-fat cream cheese) is one of the essential ingredients you’ll need to make spinach artichoke dip.
• one stick of butter
• 16 ounce tub of sour cream (or light sour cream)
• one and a half cups of grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts
• 10 ounce package thawed frozen spinach
• 4 ounce can of drained jalapenos
• two or three garlic cloves

Preparation

We’re going to start off with an 8 ounce package of cream cheese and one stick of butter. We’re just going to toss that right into the pot.

Then we’re going to take a 16 ounce tub of sour cream and add it to the pot and if you’re concerned about acquiring a muffin top it’s okay to use light sour cream and a low-fat cream cheese, which are also key ingredients in an easy creamy broccoli cheese soup recipe. It’s just less calories so I’ll leave that up to you. So go ahead and put that right into the pot.

And then finally add your one and a half cups of grated Parmesan cheese just toss it in and we’re going to heat that over about medium to medium-high heat and stir it occasionally just so you don’t scorch the bottom.

You want to go ahead and drain and coarsely chop your artichoke hearts. It doesn’t have to be perfect just small chunks is great so once you have your artichoke chop just add it to the pot toss it right in.

Then we’re going to take your thawed frozen spinach and we just want to use a 10 ounce package and toss it in.

Then a 4 ounce can of drained jalapenos and don’t be afraid to add the jalapenos they add some really nice heat to this recipe it’s not overpowering it’s just perfect so toss those in.

And finally we’re going to add about two or three garlic cloves I had two huge ones and so I’m adding the two huge ones and just give everything a good stir and let it come to a nice hot temperature almost a simmer and it’s done it shouldn’t even be called the recipe it’s so easy.

Serving

So then you just grab a chip and when nobody’s watching do the necessary taste test of course a generous size one that’s not very generous let’s do that again all right

mmm that’s good so good I like to use kettle tortilla chips with my dips because kettle has this really authentic flavor and it’s one of the few companies that actually doesn’t have genetically modified ingredients I can munch on that.
