My Mom’s Artichoke Dip

Family tradition? It so happens that this artichoke dip was always a part of our family Thanksgivings.

Though all dips are special to me; even those that come in the plastic tub labeled onion dip at the grocery.

However our family was not big on dips and artichoke dip is the first I remember my mother making. Though now that I am thinking about it she was also quite fond of onion soup mix combined with sour cream.

Truthfully though, I don’t remember any other dinner where my mom actually made an appetizer and boy did we embrace this idea!

Thanksgiving dinner was just our family of five. My grandfather and uncle owned 2 grocery stores and those didn’t close until early evening, which means they celebrated late.

 I do not remember celebrating with others, though my dad did smoke every one’s turkey that lived in the neighborhood. Well, that is if they rolled their grills up the alley to our back yard. Yes, Thanksgiving found Wildwood Avenue smelling heavenly.

My folks now live in Phoenix and hate travelling this time of year. They are hosting their own small group of six and we… well we are two this year.

Hey, I’m not complaining. Last year Manservant didn’t even make it home. We will be joining friends and there will even be a little bambino there celebrating his 1st Thanksgiving. How exciting, though I doubt he will remember.

But back to this simply divine artichoke dip. I know my mom will be making this for her celebration and I couldn’t resist  not making it for Manservant me.

It is sitting on the table for grazing purposes as we speak. I wrote about artichoke dip before and I gave out a good recipe for leftover artichoke dip used to make a great chicken baguette sandwich. Check it out if you want something else that’s good.

And keep in mind that this artichoke dip was with me way back when. It was there on that day 35 years ago and I hope it will be there 35 years from now.

Ingredients

Units USM Scale 1x2x3x

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350. Combine the three ingredients in a blender or food processor and combine until processed into a smooth mixture. (I use an immersion blender, but a processor gives the best results.) Spread into a heat proof dish and sprinkle with additional cheese if you want.
