This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Crystal Farms Cheese. All opinions are 100% mine.
I'm still a bit disappointed about the Packers' loss against the Seahawks, but life goes on, and of course, I'm going to be watching the Super Bowl game. . .for the commercials and the snacks. 🙂
Who's going to pass up an opportunity to get some friends together and put out a spread of appetizers and finger food? Ummm. Not me.
One of my favorite dips of all time is this Cheesy Artichoke Dip. It's so easy to put together and I don't think I've ever had any of it left over after a party.
One of the secrets to this great dip is quality cheese. Crystal Farms® is one of the largest cheese brands in the country and is made right here in Wisconsin. It's one of the main ingredients to this dish and I love the smooth taste and how beautifully it melts when warmed.
This dip goes together literally with five ingredients. Can it get any easier than this? You mix all of the ingredients into a bowl, spoon it into a baking dish and bake it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20- 25 minutes.
When the sides start to bubble and brown you know this delicious dip is ready to be served.
Just look at how the dip changes and becomes so creamy. . .oh, so good. It's from all of that great cheese. I've found that it goes wonderfully with bagel pieces.
I'm not going to lie. I make this dip all of the time - even when we're not having a party. You can mix up the ingredients ahead of time and bake it when you're ready to enjoy it.
Get this. . .if (for some odd reason) you have any leftovers, this dip tastes great even when warmed up.
Yum. So, cheesy, so satisfying, soooo good. I hope you enjoy it as much our family and friends do!

Cheesy Artichoke Dip
Ingredients
- 14 oz. can of artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
- 1 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 cup mayo
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 cups Crystal Farms shredded mozzarella cheese
- Plain bagel pieces for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Combine artichokes, cheese, mayo and minced garlic in a bowl.
- Spoon the mixture into a greased baking dish 1 ½ - 2 quart baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden around edges.
- Serve with plain bagels cut into bite-size pieces.
Notes
- Artichoke Preparation: Ensure the artichoke hearts are well-drained and chopped into bite-sized pieces before adding them to the dip mixture. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, as this helps prevent the dip from becoming too watery during baking. Chopping the artichoke hearts ensures that they distribute evenly throughout the dip, providing a consistent flavor and texture.
- Cheese Selection: Use a combination of parmesan and mozzarella cheese for a rich and flavorful Cheesy Artichoke Dip. The parmesan adds a nutty and salty flavor, while the mozzarella contributes creaminess and meltability. Opt for high-quality cheeses for the best results, as they will enhance the overall taste and texture of the dip.
- Golden Brown Perfection: Bake the dip in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden brown around the edges. Keep an eye on the dip while it bakes to ensure it doesn't overcook or become too dark. The golden brown color indicates that the cheese has melted and the flavors have melded together perfectly. Allow the dip to cool slightly before serving with plain bagel pieces for dipping.

My favorite cheesy appetizer would be fried macaroni and cheese. That being said, I really love any type of nachos, and french onion soup with fontina cheese, even though technically it's not an appetizer. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome platter!

It's a hard call between this gooey deliciousness or spinach and artichoke dip! Luckily they are pretty close but loving how artichoke is the star here!

I absolutely love artichoke dip, and using bagel pieces as dippers is a fun idea. This looks delicious!

p.s. - my favorite cheesy appetizer is queso fundido w/ salsa, roasted shrimp, and a bit of tequila! Or maybe just a good baked brie with some sort of jam or another on top... that's a hard choice!
