Hot Artichoke Dip

I completed two more recipes for my challenge of cooking my way thru The Pioneer Woman Cooks. I haven't cooked out of this book since the end of January. So I was eager to get back at it and what better timing then cooking for Adam's 30th Birthday Party. It's probably the easiest Artichoke Dip recipe I have ever made and now my favorite.


I don't have a Kitchenaid Mixer, so I had to mix everything the old fashioned way. Even without the mixer, it was super easy. First, I diced up my softened cream cheese to make it easier to mix.

I diced the green onions. In the picture it looks like I cut them on my tile counter top, but it's really on the clear cutting board.

Mixed the mayo, cream cheese, onions, spices, and Parmesan together in a large bowl. The Cayenne pepper gave the dip a lot of flavor, without it being to spicy. I don't mind the spice, but I was trying to think of my guests.

Chopped the additional artichoke hearts and added them to the mix. This is the second can of artichoke hearts.

I added additional shredded Parmesan to the top of the dip before putting it in the oven.

The finished product. I couldn't even it get a picture of it before our friend Bernardo had already taken a bite. I served it with fresh french bread. It was so delicious, that it was gone in the first 5 minutes. I plan on making it again for Easter.
