Thank you, that sounds much easier than making the cheese sauce. I didn't know about those tubs of cream cheese or was never tempted by them before.

The only thing is I would like to use the entire pkg of frozen spinach and the entire can of artichoke hearts, don't know why I couldn't with 16 oz of cream cheese.

I looked at my can of Reese's artichoke hearts and it looks like they aren't marinated, says artichokes, water, something, citric acid. I think the citric stuff is to avoid discoloration and would not give it a tang. I look up lots of stuff on amazon, Walmart and my local aisles online.

The kind that are marinated say so on the can it looks like anyway.

I will try that next time, have some interesting cheeses to grate for the top and will use a pinch or two of cayenne. I might sneak some bell pepper in it though. Red if I have some left. And maybe real garlic minced.

Thanks again. Time to think about bed.

Yes..put as much of the artichoke & spinach in as you like! Reese is the brand of artichoke that I use, too.

Just FYI, I have many times put a dish of this down in front of guys watching a football game...they devour it. Wouldn’t think so, but they do:)

Also, if you want to give it SW flair, use plain cream cheese & picante sauce to thin it out.
