Baked Spinach, Crab and Artichoke Dip

By ninebirch

Ingredients

• 1/2 pint deli spinach dip (1 1/3 cups)
• 1 can (about 14 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
• 1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated imitation crabmeat chunks
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
• 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar or Swiss cheese (2 ounces)
• Assorted crackers or baguette slices, if desir

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 375°. Mix all ingredients except Cheddar cheese and crackers in medium bowl until well blended.

Spread mixture in ungreased pie plate, 9x1 1/4 inches, or shallow 1-quart casserole. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.

Bake uncovered 15 to 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serve with crackers.

Check to see if your grocer's deli or refrigerated case includes spinach-artichoke dip. If so, purchase 1 pint of that dip instead of the plain spinach dip and omit the can of artichokes.
