This baby is a quick way to a heart attack -- but oh, is it ever worth it!
Tear artichokes apart with your fingers.
Combine all other ingredients and mash (a KitchenAid mixer works great).
Bake in a uncovered casserole dish for approx 30 minutes @ 350 or until bubbly.
Serve hot out of the oven and scoop up dip with pita bread [or blue corn chips -- Ed]. If you intend to take this to a party or are having friends over be prepared to recite this recipe a number of times. My wife and I bring xerox copies with us!
