A Recipe

We don't get to go out to eat very often at all. When we do, one of our favorite restaurants is a cute little Mexican that has some of the best Mexican food I have ever had the pleasure to eat.

 Living in the middle of nowhere the options of great places to eat are very limited so when I stumbled across a recipe for a Spinach Artichoke dip similar to that of what I have enjoyed over the past years in restaurants not located in the middle of nowhere I was happy. I made it several weeks ago and it was just as good as I remembered so I had to make it again and invite a friend over to help eat it and see if she liked it as well as we do. After receiving her confirmation that it really is delicious I decided to share it with you.
Spinach Artichoke Dip

1- 10 oz box frozen chopped spinach
1- 14 oz can artichoke hearts drained and chopped
2 cups shredded cheese ( I used a Colby blend)
1 jar Cheesy Ragu Classic Alfredo sauce
4 oz softened cream cheese

Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a bowl and spread into an 8" x 8" baking dish. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes and serve with chips or bread. So good! I can't decide how I like it best warm, or as cold left overs. Either way. Delicious!

I've never seen that made with Alfredo sauce and cream cheese. Are you kidding, I'd eat a tennis shoe with Alfredo sauce and cream cheese on it. I just copied and printed that out ~ DOUBLE YUM!!

You know... I've had a hankering for something like this. Just today. I was thinking more along the lines of something like baked onions.

Do you have any ideas? Anyone??

Looks and sounds delicious! Going to have to get me some Cheesy Ragu Alfredo Sauce. I have a huge jar of marinated artichoke hearts from Costco. I keep dipping in with a fork and pulling one out to eat now and then. This will help me use up a bunch.
