Step 2

Drain the quartered artichoke hearts and cut each into smaller bites sized pieces. Now, in a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and stir until well mixed.

#Spoon Tip: The artichoke stem is quite chewy, cut that part off of the quartered artichoke and leave it out of the recipe.

Place the mixture in a 9 x 13 oven safe pan and spread into an even layer. Now it is ready for the oven! Place your pan in the oven and set the timer for 20 minutes.

This artichoke cheese dip is best served with bread, tortilla chips, and friends. It can easily be spread on fresh bakery bread, or you can dive in with just a tortilla chip in hand.

Don't worry you won't have any leftovers, but if you do, store them in an airtight container and re-heat in the microwave. I am completely serious when I say this is the best EVER artichoke cheese dip.
