Directions

In a 2-quart saucepan over Medium heat, sauté garlic and onion in butter until golden, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in cream and broth and continue cooking until boiling.

Once boiling, stir in Romano, lemon juice, hot sauce and salt; stir until cheese has melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.

Stir sour cream into pan, then fold in dry spinach and artichoke hearts. Fold the mixture into a microwave-safe serving dish, or into several serving-size dishes.

Sprinkle white cheddar evenly over top(s).

At this point, you can refrigerate the dip until ready to serve, if desired.

Just before serving, Microwave dip on 50% power just until cheese has melted. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping with sour cream and salsa on the side.
