Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3 boxes frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup grated romano cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish to prevent sticking.
- Drain the thawed spinach thoroughly. You can do this by wringing it out in a clean cotton dish towel to remove excess moisture.

- Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Top the mixture with shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring an even layer over the top.
- Bake the casserole, covered with aluminum foil, for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, remove the foil cover and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes or until the casserole is hot and bubbly, and the cheese on top is golden brown.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer at your next gathering, and watch it disappear in no time! 🎉
