Have made several times over the years. I add chopped, drained water chestnuts over artichoke hearts. Scrumptious recipe. Receive raves every time I serve.
My go-to recipe, with a pinch of cayenne :)
I used 2 cream cheese blocks, added water chestnuts, and used pickle juice for the salt. So yummy and easy!
For gluten free version, recommend crushed Rice Chex as opposed to ritz crackers.
I made half this recipe, and it turned out well.
