SIMPLE, WARM ARTICHOKE DIP

artichoke dip (2)
Want an easy but delicious appetizer?  Try this artichoke dip.  Served with slices of toasted French bread, everyone will love it.  You can make it as spicy as you like by upping the hot paprika, or you can even add some diced jalapenos.  This was perfect as is for all of us.

I haven't made this in years. Love the addition of the hot pepper jack cheese. Sounds very addictive....

This looks quite delicious, but I am not sure I would like the pepperjack cheese.
