I am not a lover of football. I don’t keep up with local high school games, college games, or the NFL. Football was never a tradition in my family and I never got intoxicated by the sport in college. But I could get behind the Superbowl. Really the only reason I was looking forward to the Superbowl was…the food. I love appetizer and game day fare!
Spinach artichoke dip is a crowd pleaser for sure. Even people who hate spinach and wouldn’t dare eat an artichoke in any other form will dive right in. Cheesy, gooey, and delicious – this recipe is a crowd pleaser!
