I used half the spinach and twice the artichokes. The next day we ate leftovers spread on crackers.

I used Gluten-free flour and it turned out great. One recipe would probably serve 16 people. Made for a family gathering and everyone loved it.

Made it for Thanksgiving and none of us liked it.

Loved it. It was very good. I sent it to work with my husband and one of his coworkers ended up taking it from him!
