Game-Day Dip!

I've been looking for some new recipes to try out for Super Bowl. I usually make a cheese ball but that's old news. So, this year I think i'm gonna try out this recipe for Spinach Artichoke Dip! I LOVE Artichokes!

Creamy Artichoke and Spinach Dip

Ingredients

* 8 cups fresh spinach
* 1 clove garlic, minced
* 1 lemon, zest finely grated
* 2 (14-ounce) cans artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
* 6 ounces (about 1 1/2 cups) Parmesan, freshly grated, divided
* 3/4 cup sour cream
* 3/4 cup mayonnaise
* 1 tablespoon bottled cayenne pepper sauce
* Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
* Serving suggestion: Pita Chips, for dipping

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 1 1/2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray; set aside

Blanch spinach. Squeeze excess water.

In a medium bowl, mix together spinach, garlic and lemon zest. Add artichoke hearts, 1-cup Parmesan, sour cream, mayonnaise and cayenne pepper sauce. Mix. Place into prepared casserole dish. Bake for 30 minutes. The last 5 minutes add the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan to the top. Serve hot or cold along with pita chip
