Hot Crab and Artichoke Dip
Ingredients Serves 8 servings
9 ozs artichoke hearts (frozen)
1 red bell pepper (finely chopped)
3 tbsps unsalted butter (margarine)
2 tbsps all-purpose flour
11/4 cups half-and-half (reduced fat version)
3 scallions (thinly sliced)
2 ozs grated parmesan cheese (finely grated parmesan cheese 12 cup)

1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp celery salt
3/4 lb crabmeat (lump, picked)

1 Preheat oven to 375°F.
2 Cook artichoke hearts according to package instructions, then drain well and finely chop. Cook bell pepper in 1 tablespoon butter in a small heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in artichokes and transfer mixture to a bowl.
3 Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in saucepan over moderately low heat, then add flour and cook roux, stirring, 3 minutes. Add half-and-half in a stream, whisking, and bring to a boil, whisking.
4 Reduce heat and simmer, whisking, 3 minutes.

6 Bake dip in on baking sheet until bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm.
7 Note, dip can be prepared (unbaked) one day ahead and kept covered and chilled.

I keep my hot artichoke dip recipe fairly simple, but get raves:
2 cans quartered artichokes, drained and chopped
2 jars marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 cup lump crab meat, chopped (optional)
1 tsp. Hot sauce
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 cups shredded Parmesan
1 cup whole egg mayonnaise
Mix together and place in baking dish. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until bubbling and slightly browned. Serve with blue corn tortilla chips.
