Hot Artichoke and Spinach Dip in a Bread Bowl

An all time fav. of mine:
(12 servings)

1 (8 oz.) package of cream cheese with chives*
1/4 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt*
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup grated Romano
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/2 t. dried basil
1/4 t. garlic salt
Sea salt* and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 (14 oz.) can artichoke hearts, drained, and chopped
1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 few dashes of Frank's Hot Sauce
Real bacon bits (if desired)
Roasted red pepper, chopped (if desired)
1/4 cup shredded Mozzarella
Round of bread - if you can find rye, that would be great*

Preheat oven to 350. In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, Parmesan, Romano, garlic, basil, garlic salt, S&P, and Frank's. Gently fold in artichokes and spinach. Hollow out bread (cut into pieces to use for dipping*), and transfer mixture into it. Wrap edges, sides and bottom of bread with foil. Bake until bubbly and lightly browned. Carefully remove foil, and serve with reserved bread and/or Frito Scoops.

Remember, "You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you."

Have FUN today!!!!
