I made it in an 8x8 glass pan so we had to increase the baking time by 5-10 minutes for it to heat properly. Thanks to Scott for writing down the recipe and making notes on variations.
Spinach Artichoke Dip

1 14 oz can artichoke hearts
1 8 oz package frozen chopped cooked spinach, defrosted

1 8 oz jar real mayonaise (no Miracle Whip!)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 2-cup package shredded jack cheese
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Notes
If you don't want it that cheesy, take out 1/2 cup of jack cheese. Unsalted corn tortilla chips are absolutely the best chips to serve this with. Regular tortilla chips are a far second. Sourdough bread slices are good too. Plain crackers can be used if no suitable substitute can be found. I have tried this with fresh spinach that I steamed. It worked fine, but was more work. I have not tried this with fresh artichokes or low-fat anything. And always try to use real ingredients. That means no processed cheese, or mayonaise substitutes.
