Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Bacon
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 14 ounces Canned artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
- 10 ounces Frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Fold in the chopped artichoke hearts, thawed and drained spinach, and ¾ of the crumbled bacon.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches or similar size). Spread evenly, then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining crumbled bacon over the top for garnish.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced baguette.
