Ingredients

6 slices Bacon fried crispy and chopped
8 oz Cream Cheese softened
1/2 cup Sour Cream
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
12 oz Spinach cooked ~ squeeze as much liquid out of this as you can. I use frozen but either works.
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
3/4 cup Mozzarella shredded
7 oz artichoke hearts drained and chopped fine
1/4 cup walnuts chopped ( Pine nuts can be used too but are pretty expensive).
1 tbsp Parsley fresh, chopped fine
1 tbsp Garlic minced
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/4 -1/2 tsp red pepper flakes *optional but AMAZING
1 tbsp dehydrated onion use fresh if you like but I love the way dehydrated onion tatses in dips.
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

Topping

1/4 cup mozzarella shredded

Instructions

Fry the bacon in a pan until crisp. Set the bacon on paper towels to drain. Preheat your oven to 350F.
Chop bacon finely and reserve some if you want to sprinkle it on top when you serve the dish. It's not necessary but it's a nice touch.
Mix ALL ingredients besides cheese topping (and bacon if using) until combined and dump into an oiled baking dish. Taste before putting it into the oven in case you want to add more salt or pepper.
Smooth top and sprinkle on "topping" mozzarella.
Bake until heated through and bubbly with the top slightly browned. About 30-35 minutes is usually enough.
Serve with veggies, low carb crackers or whatever you like.
