  1. Can't wait to try this but what kind of parm artichoke dip did you use?

  2. It was actually from a jar of Robert Rothchild's Parmesan Artichoke Dip. Since I typically make the dip itself homemade, I had been avoiding the jar. Wanting to use it, I came up with this. In the future, though, I will make the dip myself (1 c. mayo, 1 c. Parmesan, 1 can artichokes chopped) and use what I need for the recipe and bake the other for dip at another time.
    Or, buy the dip premade from the deli-counter, where at least you won't have the same preservations as a jarred type. Hope that helps!
