Not only is this dip great for a crowd of people, I love it because it’s super easy to make (5 minutes prep!) and if you bake it in the dish you mix it in, there’s only one thing to clean up afterwards. It’s one of my favorites and is always a crowd pleaser. I went to an awesome New Year’s blogger party last night at Sodalicious hosted by Natashia (canaryjane.com) and brought this with me.
I had such a fun evening meeting other bloggers, making cards for the Children’s Miracle Network, and making a cute New Year’s banner using paper from My Mind’s Eye. The awesome Cricut ladies helped me cut out my banner using the fabulous Cricut Machine (you can see my banner in the picture below). My husband told me when I was leaving, make sure you bring me any leftovers. Well, sadly for him it was wiped out! This yummy dip also won me the cutest dress from Agnes & Dora in the appetizer contest. It’s definitely one you’ll want to make for all your parties.
Hot Artichoke Dip with Green Chilies
1 jar (12 oz) quartered artichoke hearts (rinsed, drained and chopped into 1/2 pieces. Sometimes I liked to double the amount of artichokes in the recipe. Yum.)
1 can (4.5 oz) diced green chilis (we like mild, but if spicy is your thing, go for it!)
1/2 cup light mayo (I like Best Foods/Hellman’s)
1 (8 oz) block light cream cheese, softened (Neufchatel)
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese*
Optional: 1/2 tsp garlic salt
Mix together all the ingredients in a large bowl. Transfer to a casserole dish. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes until warmed through, slightly golden brown and bubbling. Serve warm with Fritos scoops (my favorite), sliced baguettes, crackers or sliced vegetables (such as cucumbers and celery).
*If you have a Trader Joe’s store nearby, this recipe tastes amazing with 1/2 cup shredded parmesan and 1/2 cup Unexpected cheddar shredded.
