Quick and Easy Artichoke Dip Recipe, Prepared And Ready In Minutes!

Our quick and easy artichoke dip recipe is a life saver when you need to make a crowd pleasing appetizer and have little time.

Most likely you will have all the ingredients that you need in your pantry or refrigerator to be able to throw this together in a matter of minutes.  After draining and chopping the artichokes, all you need to do is throw everything in an oven safe dish and heat it up.

I prefer to heat the artichoke dip in the oven, however, if you do use a microwave, it can be ready in just 5 minutes.

So, instead of spending extra time in the kitchen during this very busy month, spend time enjoying each other’s company with this delicious dip and our favorite Crock Pot Chicken Enchilada Dip recipe!
