Artichoke dip

[Valerie]

We make this appetizer a few times a year at our house - we actually took a little break from it because we made it so much. It's a little heavy, but perfect for cold weather. It comes together really easily, and is delicious. We usually serve it with Wheat Thins or tortilla strips/chips.

A friend passed this along to me, so I don't know the source, but it's one of those dishes that every time I make it, someone asks for the recipe...

INGREDIENTS

1 14-ounce can of artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

1 cup mayonnaise

1 cup parmesan cheese

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon lemon juice

PREPARATION

Combine all. Pour into a casserole and bake at 350° for half an hour.

I'm looking forward to trying this (again). This was the dip you made when you were visiting, right? I wanted to eat more of it than I actually did, but I didn't want to be the person who gobbled up all the dip.

Sometimes I make a double-batch when I know people like you are going to be around ;)
