Notes
Tips to make the best Baked Artichoke Dip
Spice it up - It's so easy to make this dip your own! Add a few jalapeños to the mix, a touch of hot sauce works well too.
Make Ahead - One of the many things I love about baked artichoke dip is that you can make it and bake it or take it later!
Bake it Longer - Love it when your cheesy appetizers get a little brown and bubbly on top? Don't hesitate to bake this dip a little longer to reach that level of golden perfection.
How to Store - Refrigerate covered for up to five days. Before warming, allow to set out 20-30 minutes to prevent dish from breaking between refrigerator and oven.
