GARLIC ARTICHOKE DIP

Category: Dips - Hot

2 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1 cup mayonnaise (no Miracle Whip or fat free mayonnaise, although low-fat mayo also works great)
1 cup (packed) shredded Parmesan cheese (try to get a wedge and grate it yourself; the preshredded stuff in a bag does not melt well)
1 (12 oz) jar MARINATED artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
6-7 cloves garlic, minced

Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the mayonnaise and shredded Parmesan cheese. Gently add in the chopped artichoke hearts and minced garlic.

Place the mixture into a 9 inch pie plate (or divided evenly among smaller dishes) and bake for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly on top. Serve hot with slices of bread and/or tortilla chips.
