Spinach Artichoke Dip

Steamed Spinach, I use about 1/2 to 3/4 Cup(or to your liking) or one small package of frozen spinach thawed, and water removed by squishing between paper towels.

1 jar or Artichoke Hearts or 1 to 1 and 1/2 cups, chopped

1/2 C Mayonnaise(full fat is best)

8oz Cream cheese(also best full fat)

1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, divided

1/8 Cup Parmesan Cheese

1 tsp Garlic Salt(or to your liking)

Jalapenos(optional, but best with them!)

1/8 cup Red Pepper(roasted if you can),optional

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine in mixing bowl all but 1/2 Cup of Mozzarella Cheese and several Jalapenos (for the topping) Use hand mixer to blend until combined.
Pour into shallow baking dish(I use small Oval Baker from Pampered chef) Don't overflow, If you have extras use another dish.
Top with remaining jalapenos and mozzarella cheese and bake for 25-35 minutes or until slightly golden on top. Enjoy on small slices of baguette or with tortilla chips.

Recipe Bio: Concocted by Becky after helping with a few catering gigs and trying out Lonestar Steakhouses version. It's a mix of the catering recipe with a few things added for the taste and zing of Lonestars. This recipe is a family tradition for conference weekend. We serve it with Tostitos tortilla chips!
