If, like me, you are a fan of both cheese garlic bread and
spinach artichoke dip, then this recipe from Anna at Crunchy Creamy Sweet is
soon going to be one of your favorites. I spent the weekend making salads of
one kind or other, and figured I needed some cheesy garlic bread to go along
with it. While a salad alone is certainly a meal, it doesn't seem quite
complete without a roll or delicious piece of bread.
I cut this recipe in half, froze a portion of it, and have every confidence that it's going to reheat just fine. This strikes me as something that would be a meal in itself, or an excellent appetizer for your tailgating or (looking ahead) Super Bowl spread. Give it a try, but I warn you, it is addicting!

Place bread, cut sides up, on a baking sheet. Spread softened butter equally over the tops of each. Cover with a sheet of aluminum foil. Bake for 7 minutes. Remove from the oven, and top with a dip mix, spreading evenly to coat. Sprinkle the top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
