Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Not healthy at all, but who cares! Serve with tortilla chips.

1 8 oz. package light cream cheese
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1 can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 package frozen spinach, thawed, water squeezed out and chopped
1/2 c. parmesan cheese
1/2 c. shredded mozzarella or Italian blend cheese
Fresh ground pepper
2 tsp. garlic powder

Combine everything except shredded cheeses in a crockpot. Once everything is hot, stir in the cheeses. Keep warm in the crockpot until ready to serve. You can also just microwave everything on high, stirring every 30-45 seconds. Stir in the cheese at the end.

Ooh, that looks good. If I make it in the crockpot, how long should I heat it for?

Angie - I usually melt the butter and cream cheese in the microwave and just keep it warm in the crockpot. You can cook it on low until it looks ready!

Oh, and I tagged you on my blog. You don't have to do it, but I linked to you from my blog, so I'm pimping you out.
