Alright, who is headed to a party this weekend? My nephew invited us over to watch the Super Bowl with his family after church on Sunday. While I’m tempted to just show up, Best Ever 7 layer Bean Dip in hand, I should probably talk to his parents and see what they’re plans are. Kids are so fun though, and I of course will take any excuse to hang out with my niece and nephews.

Last weekends party was a hit with the party dips! From the ever popular chili cheese dip, to a healthier spinach dip, I think there’s something everyone will love here today for a little dipping fun. If you’re looking for something a little more sweet or romantic, Debi is featuring Valentines Desserts this week.

Hot Artichoke Dip

Are you looking for a last little something to serve this week? I found this 4 ingredient Hot Artichoke Dip using KRAFT Real Mayo Mayonnaise this week, and was so excited! I love artichoke dip, and was quite disappointed when my favorite restaurant took it off their menu. Boo! Recipes I’ve tried in the past are pretty good, but tend to be really complicated.

I did NOT need complicated this week. Sure we’re not going anywhere, and we don’t have company visiting, but since I go to school online, and then add in all the holiday hustle and bustle, and the kids being home from school – I don’t have the time for complicated dishes. Thankfully I didn’t have to compromise on taste, because this Hot Artichoke Dip is divine.

Hot Artichoke Dip

Recipe from KRAFT

Ingredients:

1 can (14oz) Artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

1 cup KRAFT Real Mayo Mayonnaise

1 cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese

1 clove garlic, minced

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 F.

Mix ingredients until well blended.

Spread into the bottom of a pie dish.

Bake 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.

So simple right?! I thought it would be nice to have individual servings as well, so I put some of the mix into my flan dishes and cooked for approximately the same time – just keep an eye on them so you don’t overcook.

While I was editing these photos, and asking Mark his opinion on some, he turns to me and goes – Is that Mayonnaise? He had already been impressed with the flavors of this dish, but even more so when he realized just how easy and simple the ingredients were.

If you’re entertaining a small group, the individual servings add just that extra touch to make your guests feel special. Really, who wouldn’t want a serving pre-made just for them? If your gathering is a bit larger, or even just your family and you want to save on dishes, keep the dip in the pie pan. Either way, it’s going to be a crowd pleaser. My 4-year-old absolutely loved this, and she’s normally wary of trying new foods.

Don’t forget things to serve with this dip! We love it in crusty bread, or with pita chips. You could also try it with veggies and crackers! Make it an appetizer, side dish, or even snack. My family hosts an hors d’oeuvres contest every year, and although I didn’t get to join in this year, next time I’m pretty sure I’ll be entering this recipe.

I found all my ingredients for this recipe at Walmart in the Mayonnaise aisle – nestled in with the other salad dressings and dips. I turned around, and there were the artichoke hearts. A quick step over and I found our grated parmesan. All that was left was garlic over in the produce (or my cupboard, because hello, garlic is a staple!)
