This Artichoke Dip is the kind of appetizer that earns its spot on the table because it asks for very little and gives back a lot. The Parmesan and mayonnaise bake into a rich, creamy base while the artichokes and tomato keep it from feeling too heavy. Serve it warm with crackers, chips, or toasted bread and don’t be surprised when people keep circling back for one more bite.

Granny’s Kitchen Notes

From Betty Lou Gardner

Hot dips like this are just the thing when company is coming and I want something ready before supper. I like this one because it can be stirred together ahead of time and baked when people start arriving. Use plain artichoke hearts, not marinated ones, or the flavor gets too sharp. For a long evening, I keep it warm in a small crockpot and set out fresh crackers as needed.
