I prepared this recipe that was found in a grocery store cook-book for a holiday party that I held a few weeks ago. My guests were generally wary at first, but once I had forced each of them to try this dip, it went quite quickly and it was the only thing served at the party to be completely cleaned out. It was very easy to prepare, taking only a few minutes to get everything into the slow cooker and ready to go. The ingredients were a bit expensive, since I had to buy a whole bottle of caesar dressing, and a bag of cheese (which seems to be going the same way as gasoline prices these days), as well as somewhat pricey canned artichoke hearts. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of the finished product.

I generally enjoy artichoke dips, but I particularly liked this one, and I don’t think it was just because I was the genius who found the recipe and decided to make it. The added caesar dressing and the lack of mayonnaise that is often found in this type of dip made it delicious. The very cheesy flavor and great texture also made this warm-dip recipe extra enjoyable. I didn’t taste any of the red pepper sauce, and I might add more next time I make this, but it might have enhanced the flavor anyway. I doubled the recipe, and would recommend that anyone planning to serve this recipe to a group of people do the same thing. The only thing missing, that is generally found paired with artichokes, was spinach - I am not sure if the addition of spinach would have enhanced this recipe at all, but it might be worth a try on my next go around.
