Number Of Ingredients 11

5 thick-sliced bacon strips, chopped
1 can (14 ounces) water-packed quartered artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 packages (8 ounces each) reduced-fat cream cheese
1/3 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Pita bread wedges, toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 2 teaspoons in pan. Add artichoke hearts and garlic to drippings; cook and stir 1 minute.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sour cream, onion salt, salt and pepper until smooth. Beat in lemon juice. Fold in artichoke mixture and half of the bacon.
  • Transfer to a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining bacon; top with Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with pita wedges.
  • Yield: 12 servings (1/4 cup each).
