1 can creamy Alfredo sauce
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 lg. onion, minced
2 cloves chopped garlic
4-6 slices bacon, fried and crumbled
2 (6 1/2 oz. ea.) jars marinated artichoke hearts (chop them up and set aside 2 tbsp. juice)
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. seasoned salt
1 (4 1/2 oz.) can green chilies (you can used jalapenos for more kick but make sure they are NOT pickled)
2 tbsp. fresh chopped parsley
2 cups of shredded Italian blend cheese
sweet paprika (set aside)

Preheat oven to 325°F

In a large bowl mix Alfredo, cream cheese and shredded cheese but make sure it is lumpy. Add onions, garlic, and remaining ingredients. Spread evenly in a 13x9-inch baking pan, sprinkle sweet paprika on the top before placing in oven for color and a little more flavor.

Bake at 325°F for 25 to 35 minutes or until the top is light golden and bubbly.

Serve with crackers or toasted sourdough bread. Serves 8-10 people.
