Equipment
- 1 8 by 8 oven safe baking dish
Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon about ⅓ pound, chopped
- 8 oz cream cheese 1 block, softened
- 1 cup mayo
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons garlic about 2-3 cloves, finely minced
- 1 14 oz can artichoke hearts drained and chopped.
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup Parmigiano Reggiano shredded
- 1 ½ shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F.
- In a medium frying pan over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy (see notes). Place on a plate lined with a paper towel.
- Coat a 8” square baking dish.
- Place bacon, cream cheese, mayo, sour cream, garlic, artichoke hearts, salt, pepper Parmigiano, and 3 ⁄ 4 cup of mozzarella cheese into a mixing bowl. Stir until well combined.
- Add the artichoke mixture to the greased baking dish. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Cover with tin foil

Notes
I prefer to slice the bacon when it is raw so that the bacon cooks more easily and the fat renders.
