Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pk Artichoke hearts, frozen
(9oz) , defrosted OR:
1 cn Artichoke hearts (14oz)
3 pk Chopped spinach, frozen
(10oz) , defrosted
1/2 lb Cream cheese
2 tb Mayonnaise
4 tb Butter or olive oil
6 tb Milk
Pepper to taste
1/3 c Parmesan or romano cheese,
- fresh grated

If frozen artichokes are used, cook according to instructions. Do not
overcook. Drain the artichokes, and place them on bottom of a 3-quart
casserole. Squeeze as much moisture as possible from the spinach, and
layer
it on top of the artichokes. In an electric mixer blend the cream
cheese,
mayonnaise, and butter or oil until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in
the
milk, and spread this mixture over the top of the spinach. Sprinkle with
pepper and the cheese.

Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees for 40 minutes, or until the top is
lightly
browned.

You can refrigerate this dish after putting it together and before
baking
it, but if it is chilled, slightly increase the baking time.
