Baked Spinach and Artichoke Dip

For easy clean-up, I like to bake my bacon in the oven. I cook my bacon on an oven safe rack, placed into a baking sheet lined with tin foil. Preheat your oven to 425 and bake for about 20 minutes. 25 minutes if you want the bacon really crispy.
PREP time includes the time to cook your bacon.
BREAD BOWL OPTION: buy any round bread loaf from a bakery and remove the top and inner bread. After the dip has finished baking for about 20 minutes, remove from the oven and fill the bread bowl. Top with more shredded mozzarella. Place into a 350 degree oven and continue baking another 15 minutes, then switch oven setting to broil (500 degrees) and broil for about 3 minutes, or until the cheese is nice and golden brown. Serve and enjoy while hot.

Equipment

  • Suggested equipment: 8 x 10 baking dish

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese + more for topping if desired
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise + more if needed
  • 3 cups Petite Artichoke Hearts* canned or jarred, coarsely chopped
  • 3 cups Baby Spinach rough chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 5 strips Thick-Cut Premium Bacon cooked to crisp and chopped (see above); optional
  • 1/2 cup Red or Yellow Onions diced
  • 1/3 cup Walnuts chopped fine
  • 1/2 to 1 cup Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Using a large mixing bowl, combine everything from the shredded mozzarella cheese to the walnuts and mix well. Spread evenly into your baking dish and sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the top. Alternatively, you can sprinkle on a blend of parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
  • Bake, uncovered, for about 20 to 25 minutes, until cooked through. If wanting to get some nice browning on the top, switch to the broiler setting for 2 to 3 minutes only at the very end. Serve with bread, crackers, chips and/or raw veggies. Serve while warm and enjoy!

Notes

*you can also use frozen artichoke hearts. Just make sure they are completely defrosted and drained before chopping.
