Gluten Free Jalapeno Artichoke Dip

Jalapeno Artichoke Dip

Ingredients:
2 cans artichoke hearts, (reserve liquid)
2 1/2 jalapenos, minced
1/2 c. mayo
1/2 c. cream cheese
1 c. Parmesan cheese, grated
8 oz. mozzarella cheese, grated
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes

Directions:
Drain the artichoke hearts, but reserve the liquid.  Roughly chop the artichokes, and then add all ingredients to a large pot over medium low heat. Stir ingredients frequently as they warm to prevent burning. Artichoke liquid may be added as needed to thin out the dip. Once the dip is heated through and the cheese has melted, pour the dip into a preheated slow cooker for serving.
