Artichoke Dip

I always order artichoke dip when we get a chance to eat out but can stop the between restaurant visit cravings by making my own. It is always popular for pot lucks and family dinners.

Artichoke Dip
1 packet dried onion soup mix
1 1/2 cups canned/bottled artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Spread into a suitable baking dish (good idea to use vegetable oil spray) and bake, uncovered, for approximately 25-30 minutes until hot and bubbly. Serve with tortilla chips, rounds of toasted bread, etc.

Ideas . . .
I like using 1 cup Swiss cheese and 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese in mine.
A tablespoon of jarred, diced garlic brings up the taste a notch.
A tablespoon of finely diced pimento makes it look more festive.
