artichoke dip

christmas, or actually just about any holiday or special occasion, just wouldn't be the same without larene's artichoke dip. whenever it's around, i find myself eating it, & nothing else... it's that good. so this year, my christmas gift to you, is the super secret recipe...

larene's artichoke dip

ingredients:
2 jars marinated artichokes
2 cans artichoke hearts in water
2 cups of mayo
2 cups of sour cream
1 can medium diced green chilies
2+ cups of grated jack cheese
2+ cups of grated cheddar cheese

empty of the jars & cans of artichokes into a strainer & using your hands squish them up good; then rinse & chop them up even more.

in a bowl mix:
mayo, cups of sour cream, & diced green chilies. when the mixture is combined, add the "squished" artichokes.

spread the mayo artichoke mixture into the bottom of 9x13 pan & top with the mixture of cheeses.

bake at 350 degrees for about 1/2 hour, or until the bubbly & the cheese is melted.

serve with LOTS of chips.

yum! yum! yum!
