This fresh spinach artichoke dip is the perfect addition to any spread. With simple ingredients and almost no prep, it delivers a rich, cheesy, and savory flavor in every bite. Whether you’re planning a party, hosting for the holidays, or just want a cozy snack, this dip is always a winner. Great for game day, special occasions, or when you just need something warm and delicious to enjoy!
Chop the artichokes into small pieces so they blend well into the dip. Slice the cream cheese into eight chunks to help it melt evenly.
Add the cream cheese first, followed by the chopped artichokes, sour cream, mozzarella cheese, seasonings, and spinach. Layering in this order helps everything mix smoothly as it cooks.
Set the slow cooker to LOW and let it work its magic for 2 hours. After about an hour, give it a gentle stir to fold in the spinach so it cooks evenly. Once done, serve warm with crackers, bread, or fresh veggies for dipping!
Notes
For an oven-baked option, start by preheating the oven to 350 F. Grease a small baking dish and mix all ingredients in a bowl. Stir in the spinach and artichokes, spread the mixture into the dish, and bake for 20 minutes until hot and bubbly.
Swap out dairy by using coconut yogurt, vegan cream cheese, and plant-based shredded cheese.
Drain canned artichokes well and pat them dry to keep your dip from getting watery.
If the dip feels too thick, a small splash of milk or cream will help loosen it up for a smoother texture.
Stir in red pepper flakes or finely chopped jalapeño for a little extra kick.
Set your slow cooker to “warm” to keep the dip hot and creamy while guests help themselves.
Serve: Enjoy with classic options like chips, crackers, biscuits, bread, fresh veggies, or scoop the dip into a hollowed-out bread bowl.Store: Let spinach artichoke dip cool completely, store it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat individual servings on the stovetop or in the microwave. If warming a larger portion, bake at 325 F until heated through.
