Ingredients

  • 1 small onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 30 ounces fresh baby spinach
  • 14 ounces canned chopped artichokes
  • 8 ounces cream cheese cubed
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup half and half
  • 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 2 quart baking dish with non-stick spray.
  • Chop the onion and mince the garlic.

  • Add half of the spinach to the skillet and cook until beginning to wilt. Add in the remaining spinach as it will fit in the pan, carefully stirring, until all of the spinach is in the pan and has wilted.
  • Drain any liquid from the skillet.
  • Add the artichoke hearts, cream cheese, sour cream, half and half, Parmesan cheese, and salt. Stir well.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and crumble the crackers over the top. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
