My newly improved spinach artichoke dip

1 8 oz package of cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cupp grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup grated romano cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzerella cheese
2 cloves of garlic; minced
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 cup red bell pepper; chopped
1 14 oz can artichoke hearts; drained and chopped
1 package froxen spinach; thawed and juices squeezed out

Preheat oven to 375, and lightly spray an 8x8 baking dish.
In a medium bowl, mix together all ingredients but the artichoke and spinach. Lightly toss in artichoke and spinach and then add to the baking dish uncovered for 25 - 30 minutes or until bubbly and brown. Serve warm with chips, crackers, torn bread pieces, individual mini bread bowls or one large one, baguettes.....your choice.
A twist on the recipie: if you know how to make a good alfredo sauce and a cup or so of your sauce for a nice creamy touch.
