Quick Appetizer: Artichoke Dip

Need a quick appetizer for guests?  This is definitely my go-to recipe, and the first one I teach everyone to make for parties. This dip has only 4 ingredients, and can be heated in the microwave or oven!  Better yet, you can serve it in a bowl or bread round, and the scooped out bread can sub for crackers. Enjoy!
