Super Bowl Sunday

I love the Super Bowl for two main reasons: the commercials and the food. Finger foods and dips are the traditional foods of the game, and this year, I made a whole bunch of goodies : ) I made the traditional "pigs in a blanket" as well as pizza bread, bacon cream cheese pinwheels, and some kick ass spinach artichoke dip that my sister gave me the recipe for. I made a 1/2 recipe because there were only 2 of us, but even with leftovers, it definitely got eaten.



2 8oz pkgs Cream Cheese, softened
3 TB Mayo
4 TB Sour Cream
3-4 Cloves of Garlic, minced or pressed
2 Packages Frozen Spinach
2 Full Sized Cans Quartered Artichokes
1 Package Mozzarella Cheese
1 Package Cheddar Cheese

-Preheat oven to 325
-Boil water in a pot and cook the frozen spinach. Drain spinach and set aside.
-Drain the artichokes and spread them and the spinach on the bottom of a 13x9 pan.
-In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, mayo, sour cream, and garlic together. Spoon small amounts of cream cheese mixture over artichokes and spinach. Spread the cream cheese carefully, trying not to mix it into the spinach and artichoke mixture too much.
-Add cheese to top, cover with foil, and bake for about 40 minutes checking on the dish occasionally. When it's done cooking, mix it all up so that all the layers become integrated.
