Spinach Artichoke Dip

Mmm.  Sunday afternoons in the fall are for good things like this dip, popcorn, apples, and the like. The beauty of this recipe is that it's more of a guideline, so amounts can be adapted according to how much of each item you have on hand.

1 10-oz. bag frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 14-oz. can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
2/3 c. sour cream
1 c. cream cheese
1/3 c. mayo or Miracle Whip
1/2 c. parmesan cheese
1 1/2 c. (or more) mozzarella
1 loaf french bread or a good baguette, sliced (and toasted, if desired)

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.  Mix first seven ingredients together until well incorporated.  Transfer to casserole dish and bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes, until bubbly.

You can sprinkle another 1/2 cup of mozzarella over the top for the last ten minutes of baking.
