Cook and stir until this mixture is blended. Remove from heat, and add in the cooked spinach, an 8.5 oz. can of chopped artichoke hearts, 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese, and 1/4 cup of sour cream. Mix thoroughly, and then pour into a pie plate (or similar oven-proof dish) that has been sprayed with cooking oil. Bake in an oven that has been preheated to 350 degrees. Turn the oven to broil, and broil for about 2 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned. Serve immediately with crisp pita chips or restaurant-style tortilla chips.

Pita Chips: With kitchen shears, cut each pita round into 6 wedges. Spread softened butter on the top and bottom of each pita wedge. Place in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes, or until nice and crisp.
