Last Sunday I tried a new recipe on my family - they loved it! So, I thought I would share it -



SPINACH & ARTICHOKE CASSEROLE



2 (10 oz) pkgs frozen, chopped spinach

1 (13 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/8 tsp salt

1/8 tsp coarsely ground black pepper

2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 (8oz) pkg cream cheese, softened

1 cup whole milk



Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine spinach, artichokes, cream, salt, pepper, and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese. In a small bowl, with mixer ate medium speed, beat cream cheese until fluffy, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula. Reduce speed to low; gradually add milk, mixing just until well blended. Spoon spinach mixture into shallow 1-1/2 quart casserole or 8x8 inch glass baking dish. Pour cream cheese mixture evenly over spinach mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until edges bubble and top is golden.
