Artichoke Red Pepper Dip

I wanted a different dip to serve other than mixing mayo and mustard together. I looked in my pantry and saw the artichokes and went from there.

Ingredients:

• 1 8 oz package of cream cheese
• 1 cup of sour cream
• 1 can (14 oz) quartered artichoke hearts, drained (not marinated) (I used Vigo)
• 1 jar (12 oz) sweet roasted red peppers, drained (not marinated) (I used Dunbars)
• 1/2 cup of real bacon chips (I used Kroger brand)

Directions:

Blend softened cream cheese and sour cream in a med size bowl. Add artichoke hearts and stir. Add roasted red peppers and stir. Add bacon chips and stir altogether until well mixed. Garnish with a sprinkle of bacon bits. Serve right away or chill.

Serve with any type bread or chips. It is also great as filling for lettuce wraps! Here are some suggestions: Hawaiian bread, bagel chips, tortilla chips, French bread, or Italian sweet bread. You could also try these variations: add sliced black olives and/or sliced green olives with pimentos.
