I made this for a baby shower I went to over the weekend and it was a huge hit... (and the group was a bunch of fussy eaters)

2 cans of artichokes (drained and chopped in the food processor)
3 - 4 cloves of garlic, chopped in food processor
1 package of reduced fat cream cheese
3/4 cup mayo (reduced fat is fine)
a few shots of tabasco sauce
1 cup asiago (or hard grated cheese of your choice)

COmbine all ingredients in sauce pan, and stir until cream cheese is melted.

Pour ingredients into baking dish and sprinkle 1/2 cup or so of grated parmesean cheese (or romano, or asiago, whatever your preference) on top and bake until sides are bubbly and cheese is lightly browned.

Serve with bagel chips or plain (not orange cheesey) tortilla chips.
