Spinach Artichoke Dip

Spinach and  Artichoke Dip

1 stick butter
1 large onion, chopped  (or grab a 10-16 oz bagged of frozen chopped onion)
20 oz. bag spinach, thawed, drained
1 can artichoke hearts, drained chopped  (or 1 bag frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and chopped)
8 oz. cream cheese
2 C shredded hard cheese (perhaps half cheddar, half parmesan - though jack, asiago, dubliner, romano all work well - a good recipe to use up the cheese drawer!)
2 T tabasco

melt butter in saucepan, sautee onion until soft. Add spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, 1 1/2 cup shredded cheese, tabasco. Stir until blended and heated through. Pour into casserole dish, sprinkle w/ remaining shredded cheese. Bake at 350 about 10 minutes until cheese starts to brown.
