-Amazing and Amazingly Easy Crockpot Cheesy Spinach and Artichoke Dip-

This dip is simply the best out there and trust me, I love spinach and artichoke dips and have pretty much tried them at every single restaurant I go to. This originated as a Vegan recipe I got off vegweb. I will let you choose to vegan or not to vegan this dip. This is a MUST try!

Vegan Version:

-One small package of frozen spinach (thawed)

-2 medium size cans of artichoke hearts (drained and sliced)

-2-3 cloves garlic (chopped)

-8oz vegan cream cheese (softened)

-8oz vegan sour cream

-4oz soy parmesan

-a couple dashes of oregano (do it to taste)

-salt and pepper to taste

My personal addition to the recipe is red pepper flakes. They are optional, but if you like a bit of a kick and some added flavor, do yourself a favor and put a couple of pinches in.

Directions:

1. Put all ingredients in the crockpot and stir. Put on high to serve it almost right away, medium to serve it in a hour or so, or low to serve it several hours later.

Non Vegan Version:

-One small package of spinach

-2 medium size cans of artichoke hearts (drained and sliced)

-2 cloves garlic (chopped)

-8oz cream cheese

-8oz drained plain yogurt (Fat Free if you want less fat) or sour cream

-4oz grated parmesan

-a couple dashes of oregano (do it to taste)

-salt and pepper to taste

-couple pinches red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions: Same as above.

This recipe is a crowd pleaser. I have served it at family get togethers and always receive compliments.
