I was going to post yet another non-recipe post… and you may have to get used to that for a little while, because lately I’ve been cooking “reruns” or semi-meals that don’t count for much as far as blogging goes. BUT I had this one saved up (well, the photos anyway) so I figured I’d throw you a bone.
This is my step-mother’s recipe, and it’s actually the first recipe in my binder. It’s DELICIOUS and very easy to throw together on a moment’s notice. You can have most of the stuff in stock in your pantry or freezer (there is always lots of cheese in my freezer), so it’s good husband-invited-someone-over-and-there’s-no-food-in-the-house food.
Start preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, in a bowl, mix together:
4 cans of artichoke hearts (not marinated), drained and roughly chopped.
16 oz sour cream (fat free is actually find here, though low-fat is probably a little better).
4 Tablespoons of flour + salt and pepper to taste
Stir it really well to coat everything.
Then add your cheese. The “correct” cheeses are:
12 oz Montery Jack cheese, shredded
4 oz Parmesan cheese, shredded
(Those are the best, but I usually use whatever I have lying around)
Mix mix mix.
Top with Jane’s Crazy Mixed-Up Pepper and bake 45 minutes or until bubbly!
Enjoy with pita chips, wheat thins, crostini, or something else sturdy.

Yum! Yum! Yum! Thanks for sharing!
Oh YUM!!!! I love artichoke dip. I also add garlic and some spinich. Mmmm….
omg, that totally reminds me of a christmas potluck i went to YEARS ago where someone served that..it WAS SO good.
You’ve inspired me t make it….project for tomorrow:)
One of my new years resolutions is to take more photos! Your pictures of your dinner as it’s being made are brilliant! Great blog!
Your recipe is quite similar to my spinach artichoke dip I make for my husband. I usually add some cream cheese for creamyness and a little garlic and it turns out great, just that little kick of flavor.
I make mine on the stove top since I’m lazy about using the oven for some things, plus it takes less time.
Love it!
