1 pkg frozen artichoke hearts
1 (4 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened

1 pkg phyllo dough, thawed at room temperature

Cook artichokes with 2 tbsp butter in covered skillet over low-medium heat, 10-15 minutes. Do not brown. Turn heat off. Add cream cheese. Cover; let it sit until cheese is soft. Stir to mix with artichokes. Add seasoning. Melt remaining butter.

Place 4 sheets of phyllo, double thickness, on surface. Brush with butter. Place 1/2 mixture in center of each sheet. Fold sides; one end, then roll up lengthwise to make 2 (4x4 inch) packets. Cover with remaining butter. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until phyllo is browned. Sprinkle with grated cheese. Return to oven until cheese is melted. Cut each packed in 3 pieces. Serve hot.
