World Champion Artichoke Dip

Pin It


If you're new or this is your first visit to my kitchen, you may not know that I live in Louisiana, which just happens to be the home of the World Champion New Orleans Saints!  For the first game of the season, which is next week, I've already planned to post my Fleur-de-lis cookies.  Tonight is their final pre-season game, and in honor of that, I decided to make one of my all-time favorite dips; in fact, I made this the night the Saints won the Superbowl!  Not only is the taste world champion worthy, but it only takes minutes to prepare, and you can even make it the day before and bake it when you're ready to serve.  Personally, I think a cracker is superfluous; in fact, I usually dish some onto a plate and settle in with a spoon.  You, however, may choose the more proper route and use a cracker.  It's your choice and your dip, I might add.  Lest you worry, though, I've yet to encounter the dip or cracker police.
