This recipe has become a family favorite. We served it at our wedding and since have had many requests. Sorry, no pictures, I'll add one next time I make it.

Jeremy's Spinach & Artichoke Dip
Serves about 16 (as an appetizer)

1/4 stick butter
1/2 onion finely chopped
3/4 pkg. (About 1 cup) frozen spinach thawed
8 oz. Philly cream cheese
8 oz. sour cream
3/4 cups heavy whipping cream
3/4 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
2-3 oz. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 can (UNMARINATED!!!) artichokes, chopped

Sauté onions in butter, then add ingredients, blending well after each addition. Add ingredients in this order: Spinach, Cream Cheese, Sour Cream, Heavy Cream, Parmesan Cheese, Artichoke Hearts.

Remove from heat and put in an oven-safe dish. Top with Monterey Jack Cheese and bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees until Monterey Jack cheese is golden brown (instead of baking in the oven, you can use a torch to brown the cheese) or simply melt the cheese into the mix and remove from heat. Salt and pepper to taste.

Don't worry if it seems a bit runny at first. It will thicken up a lot as it cools to a servable temperature.

Serve hot with chips or bread.
