Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip

As much as we Americans love to dip things, it’s sheer madness not to make our own. This easy, cheesy, and warm spinach and artichoke variety is probably my favorite dip of all time. And I hate to admit that when it’s cold and stiff, I sometimes make sandwiches out of it. Don’t judge me!
You can also use jarred or canned artichokes for this, but if you do, you’ll want to cut the water by half.
