My Favorite Artichoke Dip

I love, love, love this dip. The only problem with it, is that everyone else loves it too and that limits my ability to eat the entire pan by myself. My friend Alyssa makes this for almost every gathering we have and I never get tired of it. It's supposed to be a spinach artichoke dip. I like spinach artichoke but, I haven't tried it with the spinach , because I'm afraid I won't like it as well.

Season with garlic and lemon juice. Spread evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake covered for 20 minutes.

Spinach can be left out and prepared the same.
