This is a recipe that my dear, sweet mom use to make. It is delightful with a smooth, rich flavor. When our family would get together, this was always an appetizer that would quickly disappear. 

1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 cp maonnaise
1 chp grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
 
Combine all ingredients, mixing well.  Spoon into lightly greased 3 cup casserole.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until bubbles.  Serve with assorted gf crackers  Yields about 2 1/2 cups.  This recipe doubles well for a larger number of servings.
 
Note - be sure to drain artichokes well on paper towels
