Baked Spinach and Artichoke Dip


I am not sure this a family favorite, but I have made it several times. Once I made two, one for that evening and the other to take somewhere the next day. I had friends over that evening and we ate both so this must be a keeper! It's quick and easy too! It is not the healthiest. : (
But it is pretty! : )

Ingredients:
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup Parmesan cheese
1 can (about 14 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped.
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed to drain
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup of shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese or mozzarella cheese (1 ounce)

Toasted baguette slices. Slice baguette in 1/4 inch slices and toast lightly in oven. I like this a lot better than crackers, but assorted crackers will work.

Directions: Oven Temperature: 350 degrees
1. Mix mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese.
2. Stir in artichokes, spinach and bell pepper.
3. Spoon mixture into a 1-quart casserole. (I found a large glass pie plate is perfect!)
4. Sprinkle with Monterrey Jack or mozzarella cheese
5. Cover and bake about 20 minutes or until cheese is melted.
6. Serve warm with toasted baguette slices.
