Time 25m

Yield 1 13X9 Casserole Dish, 10-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (10 ounce) boxes frozen chopped spinach
2 (14 ounce) cans artichoke hearts
16 ounces sour cream
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 ounce salad dressing mix, original ranch powder
4 ounces parmesan cheese
cherry tomatoes, Garnish

Steps:

  • Thaw and squeeze excess water from spinach.
